This session will offer an opportunity to engage with ideas and processes of “reconstruction” as a set of methods with potential affordances to support the attending to (and interrupting?) processes of “worlding” within the artistic research project “Unworlding the Anatomical Theater in Uppsala”. Specifically, the material provided in preparation for the session presents work on “reconstruction” through “protocolling”, along with material contextualizing this work within the body of the longer research project, while the event of the session will in-corp-orate spatial “reconstructions”.
For those of you who will attend the seminar in person: please bring your coat!
The opponent for the seminar will be PhD Candiate: Rodrigo Eduardo Muro Avendano
