9 Scripts from a Nation at War is a collaborative project developed over the past two years by David Thorne, Katya Sander, Ashley Hunt, Sharon Hayes, Andrea Geyer. The Lunch lecture (13.00-14.00) will be about Andrea’s, Ashley’s and Katya’s current documenta work, in conversation with Simon Sheikh. Featuring multiple videos installed in the Documenta Halle, the work responds to the new questions and changed conditions that have arisen since March 2003. The project considers the processes by which we become, are placed into and/or refuse to be certain kinds of “individuals”—artists, soldiers, students, journalists, prisoners, detainees, citizens, Iraqis, Europeans, Americans, and so on.
From 16.00 to 18.00: expect a film on Olivier Cadiot, French writer by Pascale Bouhenik presented by Vacarme (Paris).
