Ghostly Appearances, Gestures of Radio
Workshop led by LIGNA
Saturday September 26 - Sunday September 27, 2009
About the event
This workshop explores how the personal appearance of the body can be haunted by what has been historically repressed and delves into the kinds of gestural 'ghosts' that are necessary to evoke historical appearances, ephemeral but lasting at the same time. The process involves an examination of a specific space or site in the city as well as all the gestures that appear in it. The inspiration for the thoughts behind the workshop are Agamben's remarks on the vanishing gesture as a means without an end.
In Beirut, LIGNA will be working with participants on examining the possibilities of radio as a means and on the idea of the ghostly appearance of the radiovoice.
