LIVING WORLD PERSPECTIVES 1 — The false transparencies of reality

PART 1
 With whom do we create the world? What do we see when we look at a landscape, a tree, a flower, a vine? Through which senses do we perceive these things? This session explores the plasticity of life at work in artistic gestures and the forms that emerge from them. By delving into the living matter of art, it pursues the idea that these gestures, forms and materials renew our thinking about life and its visual-centric approach.

The false transparencies of reality - Conversation - projections with Philippe Descola, Eliza Levy and Rana Eid

Our visual narratives tend to depict Nature as a space separate from humans, serving as a backdrop. This is precisely what Eliza Levy seeks to transform in her practice. This conversation with Philippe Descola and Rana Eid is ‘the observation notebook of a world that has not yet stabilised, which does not view other Earthlings as inanimate and external objects. It seeks a shift in perspective, a recomposed relationship, a reconciliation with the other. But if it is not Nature that I am looking at, what is it?’
