In the troubled air…

French philosopher Georges Didi-Huberman, curator of the exhibition and publishing project “In the Moving Air”, outlines a political anthropology of emotion understood in a poetic key and as an esthetic category: a movement, a commotion that is transmitted to the collective through a singular body, with the capacity to transform itself into mass action and to convey forms of expression and critical resistance that broaden our perception of the world. In the only essay in the publication, accompanied by an exhaustive compilation of documentary and philosophical sources that dialogue with graphic, musical, literary, photographic and audiovisual productions of various kinds, Didi-Huberman explores the potentially transformative dimension of emotion and its capacity to alter and seek otherness.
