Marie Glassl works as dramaturg, curator, author and translator. Since her studies in literature and philosophy in Frankfurt a.M. and Venice, she works primarily at the interface between the performative arts and discourse. Her practice and research are particularly focused on materialities of language and current entanglements of aesthetics and language politics as well as early Italian feminist art tradition. In 2024 she is artistic director of the interdisciplinary project On Wasted Grounds that she organizes together with Diaphanes. She is co-editor of transdisciplinary and multilingual magazine DIAPHANES where she also presents a series of interviews with current practitioners from the arts and discourse. She has been lecturer and moderator for conferences and festivals between the arts and science with Akademie der Künste Berlin, Royal College of Arts London, Migros Museum Zürich, Chronos Foundation and Bolzano Danza. In her performative practice she collaborates with transdisciplinary artists, institutions and museums worldwide like Emma Waltraud Howes, Constanza Macras/ Dorkypark or the Venice Biennale. At Diaphanes she translates poetry and political theory from Italian and English currently texts by Ines & Eyal Weizman, Roberto Esposito, Allison Grimaldi Donahue and NourbeSe Philip. From 2024 she translates and co-edits the works of Alice Ceresa into German and works on an upcoming Performance Reader together with Johannes Odenthal.

Vorher und Nachher
Die Architektur der Katastrophe

Translated by Marie Glassl

Softcover, 108 pages

Katastrophen, zerbombte Städte, politische Umstrukturierungen ganzer Länder: »Bildkomplexe« humanitärer und ökologischer Umwälzungen dokumentieren die Welt als Abfolge von Katastrophen. Wer aber entscheidet über die Darstellung von Ereignissen, bestimmt die Pixelanzahl unserer Bildwelten, herrscht über Zirkulation oder Zensur von Bildern?

Eyal und Ines Weizman lesen die Geschichte des Vorher-Nachher-Bildes von der Fotografie des 19. Jahrhunderts bis zu zeitgenössischen Satellitenbildern und entdecken in ihnen jene Lücke, in der sich nicht nur das verheerende Ereignis verbirgt: Es sind die Menschen selbst, die aus den Bildern zu verschwinden drohen. Treten die humanitäre Arbeit und die Rekonstruktionen von Kriegsverbrechen, bei denen doch Menschen, deren Schicksale und Rechte im Zentrum stehen müssten, heute paradoxerweise in eine post-humane Phase ein? Wie kann die Lücke zwischen den Bildern Ort einer kritischen Gegen-Lektüre statt Zeichen der Auslöschung werden?

Im exklusiven Gespräch mit Marie Glassl vertiefen Eyal und Ines Weizman entlang aktueller Arbeiten die Frage nach der Geschichte, Gegenwart und Zukunft des Paradigmas des Vorher-Nachher-Bildes.
