Mette Edvardsen takes the idea of reading, and the memory of reading, from the dystopian situation presented by Ray Bradbury in Fahrenheit 451: the system has decided that books go against happiness and must be burnt. The exhibition presents this project by Mette Edvardsen and its process. The exhibition shares a selection of books to be memorised, the process of memorising and the temporary presence of the living books themselves to be read. More |
Sinziana Ravini will speak at Index in connection with the exhibition Time has fallen asleep in the afternoon sunshine.

The talk will be held in Swedish.More |
