Nothing new. Nihilism as character development

TYPO Berlin 2015 Character | Friday, 22 May | 7:00 pm | Hall | English

This presentation examines the art of turning something into nothing. Belief into doubt. Possession into loss. In short, it asks how character can emerge through creation of a distinctively authoritative voice that denies both is distinctiveness and is authority. More importantly, it asks why we need such voices now more than ever.
