Commission d'expertise: Hans-Christian Dany and Valérie Knoll – Seminar

Seminar by Hans-Christian Dany and Valérie Knoll about the dandy, who doesn’t ask how he wants to live; he lives, albeit with a sad countenance. The dandy proposes no solutions, and denounces nothing as false – since he makes no declarations of any kind. He simply plays a different game.

Valérie Knoll and Hans-Christian Dany: "Those expecting anecdotes from the lives of privileged and well-dressed men are likely to be disappointed. While they do feature, we are more interested in the dandy as a destabilizing entity." (Photo: Elena Conradi)
Valérie Knoll and Hans-Christian Dany: "The Dandy as someone that prefers to get rid of whom one thinks to be, than fight for the phantasm of a given identity. A character who wants to disappear and to be neither good nor a victim, which frees from the burden of gazing down upon others from some Olympian moral heights." (Photo: Elena Conradi)
