presentation of the project “Adventures of Enlightenment” by Alexander Kluge, curated by Hans Ulrich Obrist and Adriana Rispoli

“Are universals “precious stones of thought”? Are they tools? Are they constellations of stars that help people lost in the night to orientate? Or are they tarot cards?
The world of universals is an unfinished project. Real people live in its ruins. Universals can be represented as buildings that are still being worked on and also as benevolent ghosts that wander around the globe and hope to be born. Universals need a lot of fortune” Alexander Kluge.
