From tracing fingerprints to tracking Internet activities, forensics is
central to the ways by which states police and govern their subjects. Through
its media representations it has also become a defining feature of contemporary
culture. FORENSIS seeks to invert the direction of the forensic gaze and
designate the emergence of new aesthetic-political practices by which individuals
and independent organisations use new technologies and architectural methodologies
to bear upon a range of issues from political struggle to violent conflict
and climate change.
The exhibition, curated by Eyal Weizman and Anselm Franke, presents
the work of the Forensic Architecture project at Goldsmiths, University
of London. It includes the presentation of forensic investigations - involving
imaging processes, satellite images, 3D visualizations, models and videos
- mobilised as evidence on behalf of prosecution teams, civil society organizations,
activists, human rights groups, and the United Nations. These contemporary
forensic practices are situated within broader political, historical, and
aesthetic contexts. More...
The case studies and investigations encompass forensic reconstructions
of drone attacks in the shadow war in Pakistan; investigations into resource
exploitation and environmental destruction, taking examples such as Chilean
and Indonesian copper mines; reconstructions of the failure of NATO ships
to assist refugee boats; and historic case studies, including the identification
of Joseph Mengele's remains in Brazil in 1985. More...
In the conference "The Architecture of Public Truth",
internationally renowned lawyers, judges, activists and authors discuss
how new types of forensic techniques alter the institutions of international
justice and thus the fields of politics. The list of participants includes,
among others, Jonathan Littell, Luis Moreno Ocampo, Baltasar Garzón,
Michael Sfard, and Wolfgang Kaleck. Further case studies will be discussed
in Sunday sessions with Shahzad Akbar, Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Luis Fonderbrider,
Markus Rothschild and others. More...
