This
event is hosted by the department of Social Design at the Angewandte in collaboration with Frida Robles.
Can
we think of a readable device, an impossible manual; approaching a particular site as an architect would do if they had no
real material restrictions. An illusionary edifice as an exploration of the possibilities and flexibility of time-space in
a restricted location, narrative- actions in-situ. Projected pyramids, monumental snakes, wandering hearts. The performativity
of urban space is enacted by its architectural elements, with each edifice a reiteration is materialized. Performativity is
the recurrence of acts, the repetitions of formulas, actions, words, structures. Ancient incantations and spells focused on
the rhythmic repetitions of sounds or actions in order to activate a magic order of things. Can we exercise physical space
as a means for speculative [historical] fiction?

airing the case of amphibians’ livelihood imperiled at the opening of Ateliers de la pensée #2 in Dakar, November 2017, to
