‘… the truth of the subject is its estrangement and its excessiveness

Seminar participants

At the seminar this morning Tina Kinsella presented some research on Bracha Ettinger’s art practice, philosophical and psychoanalytical position. Using these as a compliment to a reading of Jean Luke Nancy’s personal account of his heart transplant. Evesdropping from the bed on the other side of the dividing curtain was a strange halfway place for me. I could hear the discussion but not see the images under discussion, the body language and eye contact of the participants. It felt as if I was present, but not … a frustrating, liminal place to be.
