ANIMAL

The video is available in German.
Philosophy lecturer and writer Mara-Daria Cojocaru ties in with themes from Yalda Afsah’s exhibition. The contribution ANIMAL is dedicated to the question, which scientific perspectives man uses to classify the animal world. What approaches and distinctions can be identified here? To what extent does the division into species and the dualism between humans and animals also present problems?

Katherine Bradford’s painting can be located in the tradition of abstract expressionism, particularly in colour field painting. During her very personal American Odyssey, she developed her very own style: interweaving abstraction and the figurative she creates very special bodies. The bodies’ faces often lack facial expressions.

Drawing on examples of US-American monuments, Prof. Dr. Nassim W. Ballestrini’s lecture will discuss collective memory in terms of contemporary debates in the US.
