I for Idiot

With essays by Bojana Kunst, Michael Oppitz and Benoî Turquety. Designed by Manuel Raeder and Mauricio Guillén. Soft cover with poster ‘I For Idiot’ functions as an extension of the film ‘Avenida Progreso’ in the sense that it assembles three different perspectives: a philosopher’s, an ethnologist’s and a film theorist’s, and juxtaposes these with some of the external layers of reality that have in one way or another informed the film. The purpose of this exercise, is to further consider the potential of dialectic time as a tool for collapsing linear narratives and analyzing the relation between speed, history and the distribution of knowledge in information based societies.

Text: Turquety Benoit, Oppitz Michael. cm 18,5×23,5; pp. 96; Publisher: Bom Dia Boa Tarde Boa Noite, Berlin, 2012.
