With psychoanalysis, we should listen to dizziness: to find rhythms and tempos of the unconscious. Other senses in the nonsense. Triggering — dizziness allows talking; and a change in perspective, if heard. Colliding, conflicting trajectories in intense multiplicity could lead to the shape-shifting of lives, and institutions. What can be heard in Yukio Mishima’s and Gustav von Aschenbach’s dizziness?
The process of slipping into dizzying freefall, of sliding into uncertainty, becoming stuck, losing one’s way, giving up are as much actions as occurrences, both active and passive. Dizziness is a midway state at the point where everything and nothing seems possible, where certainty and uncertainty are in superposition, marked by an increasing loss of control.
This book launch will feature Ruth Anderwald + Leonhard Grond, who will introduce the book and their eponymous artistic research project, and Sergio Edelsztein, collaborator of the artistic research 'Dizziness – A Resource'. In 2016 he co-hosted a three-day event at the CCA, where Maya M. Shmailov participated with a lecture.
