Post Disaster Works

Place Holder is the aftermath of a meta-mediterranean residency. Between artist book and collective essay, it is a working process between eleven artists and researchers conducted through a series of thematic conversations reflecting on their participation in the Caravan residency, which brought the group variously to Alexandria (Egypt), Athens (Greece), Brussels (Belgium), Marseilles (France) and Nicosia (Cyprus) over the course of four months at the beginning of 2022.
The texts are in between a raw transcription and an edited script. While they have been edited for clarity and to reduce repetition, certain errors of transcription and the spoken language have been left in place to best reflect the literary quality of speech. Images were gathered by the participants during the Caravan residency period across the programme’s many geographies.
Place Holder was exhibited at Fondazione Pistoletto Cittadellarte (Biella), Mucem (Marseille), and Kunsthal Aarhus.
