Forensic Architecture - A lecture by Eyal Weizman

Saturday, / 7 pm Forensic Architecture - A lecture by Eyal Weizman “There are facts in an era of post-truth,” says Eyal Weizman of Forensic Architecture, “and, when the police and the state do not respond to pressing questions, it’s time for us to take over the investigation, using the tool of contemporary culture.” The video installation “77sqm_9: 26min” created by the London-based research group Forensic Architecture was one of the most influential projects of documenta 14 and nominated for this year’s Turner Prize. In the context of the 10th Festival Politik im Freien Theater, the work will be on view Nov. 1 -11 at Haus der Kunst. In his talk, Eyal Weizman presents the work of his interdisciplinary team of architects, filmmakers, scientists, journalists and lawyers, who develop innovative visualization techniques to analyze and respond to political conflicts. The enlightened impact of the group’s visual work can be compared to the work of investigative journalism
