“I Beg You to Hear Me!” celebrates the varied and colourful panorama of Russian literature of the 1920s and 1930s. Through ‘lyrical’ biographies and storyboards in the style of a graphic novel, the writers emerge as comic-strip heroes, living and creating during the turmoil of the early years of the Soviet Union. This publication is the offspring of a multimedia exhibition held at dalla Rosa Gallery, London, in 2011. Limited edition of 150 copies, numbered and signed.
Please note: while the publication is originally in English language, the presentation and performance will be in Italian.

“I Beg You to Hear Me!” (“Vi prego di ascoltarmi!”) celebra il panorama vario e multicolore della letteratura russa degli anni ’20 e ’30. Autobiografie ‘liriche’ e storyboard in stile di novella grafica ritraggono gli scrittori come eroi di fumetti che vissero e crearono le loro opere nello scompiglio dei primi anni dell’Unione Sovietica. Questa pubblicazione è il risultato di un progetto multimediale presentato alla Galleria dalla Rosa di Londra nel 2011. Edizione limitata di 150 copie, numerate e firmate.
Avviso: benché il testo originale della pubblicazione presentata sia in lingua inglese, la presentazione e la performance saranno in Italiano.

Zata Banks introduces a curated selection of short film artworks, chosen for their alignment with poetic structures and experiences, and with the visual, verbal and aural languages of poetry in various forms.
Parallax is the apparent displacement—or difference in the apparent position—of a visual object, when viewed along different lines of sight. In his book Transcritique, the Japanese philosopher Kojin Karatani uses the word ‘parallax’ to describe Kant’s shifting between contradictory perspectives. Kant’sAntinomies of Reason are contradictory propositions, which seem valid from their own perspectives, but which cannot be simultaneously true. Kant argues alternately from one perspective, then from the other, and Karatani describes Kant’s approach as establishing a parallax between philosophical positions. Karatani asserts that parallax does not equate with negativity, but it does not negate negativity either. The basis of parallax is the positivity of both positions.
Slavoj Žižek argues that in Karatani’s concept of the parallax view, the observed difference is not simply subjective, but that the viewer’s change in perspective reflects an ontological shift in the object itself:
“the subject’s gaze is always-already inscribed into the perceived object itself, in the guise of its ‘blind spot’, that which is ‘in the object more than the object itself’, the point from which the object itself returns the gaze” (Žižek, The Parallax View, 2006).
“Sure, the picture is in my eye, but me, I am also in the picture” (Jacques Lacan, The Four Fundamental Concepts of Psychoanalysis, 1979).
