19h00 - 20h30 Lecture 2 Nat Muller, independent curator and co-initiatror of the Xeno_tech project, Rotterdam - Netherlands Xen[on]tologies: Negotiating Otherness - Performing Difference English

  Images rub off on us like clothes we  wear or like air we breathe. They work both as a mirror and as a surface, reflecting our fears, our desires and ourselves. But somehow always retaining a certain flatness which allows them to operate on a surface-level.  The image of our “other”, our inverse mirror image, is something we want to control in order to set its difference and deny how similar we might be.   The works selected for the screening show how the dynamics on the visual continuum of “otherness” are acted out.
