Traumatized places on an injured planet

In November 2023, during a visit to AiR 351, Alice Miceli and Michael Marder realized they had experienced and worked in several countries affected by various types of traumatic events. Recognizing the commonality in their backgrounds, AiR 351 has invited both Miceli and Marder to participate in a live event. They will explore the topic of trauma in places impacted by nuclear disasters, war zones, and ecological devastation.

Drawing from their own artistic and personal experiences, Miceli and Marder will delve into the role of art, philosophy, and collaboration in confronting and overcoming these collective and more-than-human traumatic situations.

Join us for this thought-provoking event organized by AiR 351.

Ute Meta Bauer | Saying It Without Saying. On The Process of Creating the 17th Istanbul Biennial

RECOMMENDED: LECTURE

By Ute Meta Bauer

The suspension of life-as-we-knew-it is a rare license to do things differently. Doing justice to this moment means resetting our expectations and our purposes, reimagining our formats and making way for a fundamental questioning that is political and philosophical; for conversations, intimate and public, generous and trenchant. What is needed above all in this uncertain window is the confidence to try unfamiliar ways, old and new, of interacting with each other and with the world.

Panel Discussion: Modes of Documentation and Photography

PANEL

This panel will contextualize Alice Miceli's experimental mode of documentation within the genre of photography.

Alice Miceli's work operates within a legacy of documentary photography to depict the aftermath of the 1986 Chernobyl explosion. Instead of repeating the widespread images of the abandoned buildings of Pripyat and its survivors, she developed a scientific method to document the radiation itself. This panel will contextualize her experimental mode of documentation within the genre of photography.

Residencies Studio Sessions

TALK

In this talk, Artist-in-Residence Alice Miceli will discuss her research on landscapes inscribed with human-induced traumas and how former theatres of war raise issues of visibility, accessibility, and memory. Focusing on two of her major projects—Chernobyl Project (2007–2011), which revolves around the exclusion zone generated by the infamous nuclear disaster and In Depth (landmines) (2014–ongoing), a photographic inquiry into landscapes contaminated with unexplored landmines—Miceli will unravel the multiple methodologies, from archival research and investigative travels to formal experimentation, which frame the traces of trauma in the context of her practice.
