(South Africa), Thomas Sykora (Netherlands), Gary Ward (Ireland),  
Michelle Williams (England)
In the videoworks by means of visual description, narrative,  
encounters, and reflexivity dis-economy of life occurs at the present  
time in all the domains. As a result, people float in uncertainty, at  
the same time economically connected to and yet, disconnected from  
one another. One can see the levels on which lives have been dis- 
organized, and look at what people do to cope, reorganize, and find  
alternative units and places to get their act together again.
17 November 2006, from 6 p.m. - Péter Fuchs (Budapest): lecture on  
the aestetics of fleeing, the building up of an economic life and its  
incomprehensibility
