Vilém Flusser Gedenktag: Wir überleben in der Erinnerung der Anderen

“O homem é um serrr malvado que quer matarrr o papaiii e dorrmirrr com a mamãe.”

Twenty years ago on the 27th November 1991, the philosopher and cultural theorist Vilém Flusser died in a car crash near Prague. To mark this occasion, the Vilém Flusser Archive at the University of Arts Berlin (UdK) warmly invites you the Vilém Flusser Remembrance Day. In accordance with Flusser's statement "We shall survive in the memory of others", his death should not be mourned but instead his life and thought, with which he inspired many artists and academics, should be celebrated. As long as we remember him, he lives on in us and in our memory. After a short welcome greeting, the director of the archive Prof. Dr. Siegfried Zielinski will speak about the history of the Flusser Archive and the meaning of Flusser for his own theories and research. Friends and contemporaries of Flusser are expected to attend, who can share experiences of their personal relationship to Flusser and his influence on their own work. The guests and attendees of the Vilém Flusser Remembrance Day will be asked to bring a short text, quotation, letter or artefact by or about Flusser, and to share this with the others as their personal memory of Flusser. In the style of an artists' salon, the participants will have the opportunity during refreshments to enter into a Flusserian dialogue with one another. The language of this event will be predominantly English.
