Much like Warburg’s Bilderatlas Mnemosyne, it creates a Denkraum, a space for thought that unfolds between two modes of relating to the world and to history, namely immersion and reflection. As a liminal space between poetry and philosophy, the installation plays on making present what is physically distant and unobtainable. After the talk, the artist and her collaborators will enter into a group discussion about the installation and the creative process behind it.
