Taking place simultaneously in Angers and Los Angeles, separated by more than 9,036.04 km, the exhibition “The Tyranny of Distance” explores the various constraints and possibilities posed by distance and the necessary translations that separation implies. This distance separating two geographical, cultural, climatic, historical and linguistic contexts engages the experience of the limits of translation, of the relationship to the other.
Departamento de Desfuturos Históricos is a workshop held by artist Daniel Frota de Abreu with students from École Supérieure d’Art et de Design TALM in Angers. During three days the students are invited to speculate and visualize their research through the creation of multiple timelines.
