S’amagaven darrere els arbres

A project by Anna Dot for the Walter Benjamin Route 2016

Exhibition

Presentation | 29.03.2017 / 19h | Event Hall

In S’amagaven darrere els arbres, Anna Dot revisits the process of literary censorship of the Spanish translations of works by Walter Benjamin and Hannah Arendt during the period of the Franco dictatorship. In it, she evokes, on the one hand, the Eastern Pyrenees and the Alt Empordà county of
Catalonia as spaces of transit and memory and, on the other, the “bookpeople” described by Ray Bradbury in his novel Fahrenheit 451 (1953), as performative experiences. The presentation will also feature Edgar Díaz and Palma Lombardo, who recorded the project process on film.

Activity included in the exhibition Walking on ice.
