Pensare nel bunker. 3 domande a Lara Favaretto sui Clandestine Talks (Biennale d'arte di Venezia 2019)

At the LVIII Venice Art Biennale (2019) the artist Lara Favaretto presented Clandestine Talks, a series of conversations performed by intellectuals and experts in a bunker in Venice. Focusing on keywords provided by the artist, the debates spanned a range of sensitive aspects of our living today: education, algorithm, amnesia, AI, just to name a few. The talks are part of Favaretto’s wider project, Thinking Head. For this issue of Engramma, we asked her to tell us about the project, and she entrusted her answers to the texts and images published here. We would like to thank Lara Favaretto for her openness to contribute to this issue of Engramma, suggesting affinities with Warburg’s method. We would also like to thank Sara de Chiara, who helped collect the texts, putting the artist in contact with the journal.
