“Critical Zones”: Developing concepts and approaches for grasping the New Climatic Regime (Bruno Latour), that is the transformations in the relations of humans to their “terrestrial” conditions of existence. – The seminar series of Bruno Latour at HfG analyses these transformations as epistemic breaks and shifts of knowledge by drawing an analogy to the scientific revolution in the 17th century, where, after a crisis of former sound knowledge, new epistemic systems, representations and narrations in art, science, and religion had to be constructed and reintegrated into new dispositifs of knowledge. The project tackles an important aesthetic question, which overpasses simple forms of illustration of knowledge: How central is the imaginary capacity of the arts in constructing representations and narrations that are depictions and “generators” of new knowledge systems and therefore vital means of cultural change?
The exhibition at HfG in November will display some preliminary results of the projects developed by the seminar participants. It presents an opportunity to discuss – in a mode of work-in-progress – research questions, aesthetic approaches and epistemic experiments with colleagues and students of HfG and ZKM.
Opening: Nov 7, 19:00; duration: Nov 8, 10:00-19:00, Nov 9, 10:00-15:00

"Über das Bekämpfen der Angst (vor der Welt)" ist eine spekulative Videoarbeit, die ein Spektrum von Phänomenen rund um Karten, Angst, Krieg, Reisen und den Körper abdeckt, wobei der Schwerpunkt auf der Praxis der Kartierung als Instrument zur Unterdrückung und Kontrolle von Land und Menschen liegt. Das Video versucht, einen Rahmen für das Thema zu schaffen, indem es viele verschiedene Geschichten zu einem Cluster zusammenführt, der vielleicht nicht repräsentativ ist, aber einige Teile des Themas beleuchtet. Ästhetisch und strukturell ist das Video von Rollenspielen, der Pre-Vis-Technik (die in Filmproduktionen verwendet wird) und Found Footage inspiriert. Das Szenario ist in einer fernen Zukunft angesiedelt, in der Klimawandel und Massenaussterben längst ihre Auswirkungen gezeigt haben und die Bestien, die vor der großen Kolonisierung über das Unbekannte wachten, zurückgekehrt sind. In der Rolle der Hauptfigur sucht der Zuschauer, angeleitet von einem Erzähler, nach Überresten der alten Welt, um zu verstehen, warum alles kartiert werden musste.
Beschreibung (en)
"About Fighting the Fear (of the World)" is a speculative video work that covers a spectrum of phenomena around maps, fear, war, traveling, and the body, with a focus on the practice of mapping as a tool to oppress and control land and people. The video attempts to frame the issue by bringing together many different stories to create a cluster that may not be representative but illuminates some parts of the issue. Aesthetically and structurally, the video is inspired by role-playing games, pre-vis technique (used in film productions), and found footage. The scenario is set in a distant future in which climate change and mass extinction have long since had an impact and beasts that used to watch over the unknown before the big colonization have returned. As the main character, the viewer searches for remnants of the old world, guided by a narrator, in order to understand why everything had to be mapped.
