Learning unit contents
Snapshots
'a piece of information or short description that gives an understanding of a situation at a particular time:
Credit rating agencies provide a snapshot of the risks an investment poses at any one time.
an informal photograph' (dictionary.cambridge.org).
The notion of snapshot may seem contradictory to that of heritage, implying permanence and transmission. The workshop explores the ways in which this tension can be used to enhance or interpret heritage sites.
Three sites will serve as a basis for reflection, through installations and performances:
- in Liège, the Nuit des Coteaux route and the first courtyard of the Palais des Princes-Évêques (16th century), in collaboration with Radiance35.
- in Wuppertal, the Pina Bausch Zentrum, in collaboration with BU Wuppertal (Christoph Grafe and his students).
Participation in the workshops therefore involves
- a stay in Wuppertal from 23 to 26 September;
- presence in Liège on Saturday 5 October for the Nuit des Coteaux.
