THE EMBODIED BORDER: WORDS FOR POLITICAL FICTION

THE EMBODIED BORDER: WORDS FOR POLITICAL FICTION

exhibition by MYST (artist collective: Yasmine Benabdallah, Simone Fehlinger, Tamara Al Saadi)

The exhibition explores through installations and research spaces the question of the border in contemporary wars and conflicts, arguing that the frontier as a line is both process and political fiction.

The trace on the (modern) map is only possible by the design of the Self and the Other through images, sounds and language. In contrast and in addition to the imagery of war reporting, the exhibition focusses on the word as a basis to the construction of the embodied border.

First show at Théâtre Nanterre-Amandiers

Interdisciplinary conference hosted by Reid Hall, the Columbia University Paris Global Center - 10.02-03.2018
