Upgrade! Berlin presents: Alice Miceli - Images of the Invisible :: January 18, 2008; 8 pm :: Redesign Deutschland, aka System Lüftung, Torstrasse 94, 10110 Berlin.

Brasilian artist Alice Miceli is currently based in Berlin, where she works on the “Chernobyl project”. Over the last years, Alice has been working on new approaches to re-visualise the memory of places which have an extreme history, such as the former prison of Phnom Penh / Cambodia or Chernobyl. According to Giselle Beiguelman, author of the Essay on Miceli’s work, she deals with poetics that lies in the realm of the “unportrayable” and rethinks our strategies for dealing with memory. Her work has been shown at exhibitions and festivals around the world. During the Upgrade! talk, Alice will give an overview of her work, with a focus on her current project in Chernobyl.
