Inhaltsangabe

Stephane Gilot explores various forms of utopia and dystopia, architecture, social structures, cosmology and epistemology. With a multidisciplinary approach involving installation, video, maquettes and drawing, he develops a wealth of ideas on the notion of worlds. This book focuses on two major works: MULTIVERSITE/Metacampus (2012) and La Cite performative (2010). The latter is a synthesis of the artist's varied practice: small-scale models of earlier projects and other architectural projections stand on a platform like a miniature city, with some of the buildings housing performance videos. MULTIVERSITE/Metacampus is akin to a forum for research, experimentation, exchange and reflection on the university as a utopian exemplar and for imagining its potential as a place for the emergence, development and circulation of ideas and knowledge. This generously illustrated publication includes a rewrite of Borges's famous Library of Babel adapted to Gilot's visual universe, essays on MULTIVERSITE/Metacampus, and an essay on La Cite performative.
