A world, with all its complexity and contradictions: this is what emerges from the research project "L’Assemblée des écritures" carried out at ECAL / the Lausanne School of Art.
Conceived as a shared space for writing and reflection, this "Assemblée" explores contemporary forms of text and their relationship with the visual arts.
Conceived within the deliberately tight timeframe of a year of collective work, punctuated by exchanges, experiments and the comparison of practices, this publication embraces the speed of its production as the embodiment of a necessity: to respond to the shared urgency to write and think.
Edited by Federico Nicolao
