Lecture by Haig Aivazian at Ashkal Alwan

As part of the Home Works 6 platform, Ashkal Alwan will be hosting a lecture by Haig Aivazian. In his multi-part project entitled “To Neither Confirm Nor Deny that the Matter Neither Reflected Nor Absorbed Light”, Aivazian looks at the stories, dynamics and narratives that have emerged from the visualizations of the so-called Dominique Strauss-Kahn Affair.

Centered around an assault in a Sofitel suite in Manhattan, where the only witness is also the survivor of the attack, the work seeks to ultimately present a strange framework, through which an immaterial globalized financial economy and corporeal violence become inextricably linked.
