A Moving Border: Alpine Cartographies of Climate Change
A Moving Border
Following an introduction to the book, the authors will be joined by Vivian Ziherl, founder and director of the art and research project Frontier Imaginaries. Moving from the internal limits of the European Alps to the imagined externality of the settler-colony, Ziherl will discuss the concept-image of “the frontier” through a series of artist projects. With works that bring together Singaporean high-tech governance and Hollywood Spaghetti Westerns; Indigenous shell middens and the concrete skins of contemporary urban space; and the inscriptions of 5000BC cuneiform tablets with contemporary travel papers; Ziherl will discuss the ‘inextrinsic’ composition of European space and spatial rationality.
'A Moving Border' features a foreword by Bruno Latour, maps and unpublished documents from state archives, and contributions by Stuart Elden, Mia Fuller, Francesca Hughes and Wu Ming 1.
