Je me vois (DUO W. EMIL SANDSTRÖM)September 23 – October 15, 2023
Heerz Tooya, Vishovgrad, BGIn 1990, almost thirty years into a career of writing, Bulgarian-born linguist, psychoanalyst, and writer Julia Kristeva publishes her first work of fictional writing, Les Samuraïs (The Samurai: A Novel). Her turn to fiction has been ascribed to two events in the previous year: the loss of her father under obscure circumstances in September of 1989, and the subsequent fall of the Berlin Wall only two months later. Entering this novel form acts as the catalyst for an ensuing stream of autobiographical fictions.
After half a lifetime spent theorizing the workings of self and the formation of the subject, only the deformation presupposed by fiction allows for momentarily catching her own biography. For this exhibition, economies of the reflexive mode are considered as pathways for depositing and layering biographical fragments, around which to outline methods of narrative and storytelling.
