Nagori: writing with Barthes
No full textPresented in the form of an acrostic, the text offers six entries (Nagori, Amateur, Genshiken, Obtuse, Rhythm, and Interstice). It begins with the Japanese term nagori, the etymology of which is in nami-nokori, ‘remains of the waves’, to refer to the ephemeral imprints left by the waves as they withdraw from the beach. The modern word nagori carries a more general sense of resignation, of a destiny that cannot be changed, of things that pass. The opening entry, for example, refers to our present time as the nagori of photography – as being ‘everywhere’ even before being shattered and scattered by the Internet, by social media and cameras in mobile phones. Underlying the six entries is specific reference to the work of Roland Barthes, notably as a form of writing with Barthes, not about him. As such, and as the final contribution to a special issue of Theory, Culture & Society, ‘Neutral Life: Critical Reflections on the Late Writings of Roland Barthes’, this opens up for the ‘reader’ a specific practice and politics of writing
Victor Burgin: five pieces for projection
No full textVictor Burgin s Five Pieces for Projection introduces recent projection work from 2010 to 2014, and coincides with the artist and writer s retrospective exhibition Forms of Telling at the Museum für Gegenwartskunst Siegen. Each of the five projections presented in the catalogue is accompanied by a text by Burgin that discusses how the work emerges from a personal experience, a preoccupation with a building, a place, or a Romantic painting.Like a visual diary, a fictional narrative, or historical document, Burgin s projection work takes us on a journey to different places and situations. This publication too reads like a film or a moving storyline where real and imaginary images are activated and intertwined through the use of photographs, paintings, and brief textual recollections. Hanne Loreck s detailed essay discusses some of Burgin s digital image projections, such as Dovedale (2010) and Mirror Lake (2013), considering the visual-textual effect of Burgin s work and the atmospheres created that trigger numerous associations in the viewer of a book, a film, or a personal memory
