Another Ghost Party
Buy it hereThe publication Another Ghost Party traces the collaboration between artist Manon de Boer and dancer and choreographer Latifa Laâbissi, which begun in 2016.
Their collaboration generated the performance Ghost Party (1), 2021, the films Ghost Party (2) and Persona, both 2022, the exhibition Blindsight in Museum Dhondt-Dhaenens in 2022, and now this book. This “ghost party” revolves around a cast of “ghosts” who have affected both their practices, from Lygia Clark and Frantz Fanon to Beyoncé and Pier Paolo Pasolini.
To the many dialogues involved in De Boer’s and Laâbissi’s project, this publication brings a host of new ones, through conversations with Fabian Flückiger, Laurens Otto, Olivier Marboeuf and one between Ailton Krenak, Suely Rolnik and I, Laila Melchior.
These conversations highlight key artistic and political questions that mobilised De Boer’s and Laâbissi’s collaboration, notably regarding questions around the voice, divergent strands of modernisms, and ecological urgencies.
