The Architecture of Disaster
The Architecture of Disaster

Ines Weizman, Eyal Weizman

Before & After

History is increasingly presented as a series of catastrophes. The most common mode of this presentation is the before-and-after image—a juxtaposition of two photographs of the same place, at different times, before and after an event has taken its toll. Buildings seen intact in a “before” photograph have been destroyed in the one “after.” Neighborhoods bustling with activity in one image are in ruins or under a layer of foulwater in the next.

Tombeau pour Guy Debord

Guy Debord fut le Christ de l’avant-garde, immolé sur son idéologie, que plus que quiconque (Tzara, Duchamp, Artaud, l’actionnisme viennois…) il aura poussé à son extrême limite. Il en satura toutes les possibilités et toutes les impasses. Il n’y avait, pour ses prétentions démesurées, ni échec, ni réussite. Son parcours doit être aujourd’hui évalué selon d’autres mensurations : celles qu’à point nommé la disparition des avant-gardes nous laisse en héritage.
