CIRCLING THE VOID: LANGE NACHT DES PAZIFIK
How does one grasp a gigantic and disparate space which eludes any unifying approach? By setting it in motion. This event will take up the currents that shift, alter, and construct the “New Pacific.” A multimedia expedition with representatives from the most diverse fields, from poetry to design to marine biology, and composed as a “conversation chain” allowing discourses to flow playfully into one another.
With Axel Hein (WWW-marine expert, Vienna), Dorothea Rosa Herliany (poet, Indonesia), Pablo Ientile (Illustrator and grafic designer, Argentinia/Berlin) Martin Jankowski (author and literary mediator, Berlin), Pablo Ientile (illustrator and graphic designer, Argentina/Berlin), Juliana Spahr (author, California), Reina Whaitiri (literary scholar, New Zealand), Rob Wilson (cultural theorist, Hawaii)
