A Lungomare Reader[en], 16 Dialogues about Sheep, Black Holes, and Movement

To mark its 20th anniversary, Lungomare published the volume AS IF - 16 dialogs about sheep, black holes and movement.
Starting from dialog as a form of relationship that Lungomare has embraced in its 20 years of artistic and cultural activity, and approaching themes, people and places while always going a little beyond its own borders and horizons, the book brings together 51 voices of people who have been invited to express their own vision for a renegotiation of the future.

Eric Asamoah’s (b. Linz, Austria, 1999) photographic practice is informed by his engagement with tendencies in progressive Black thought. He navigates the complexity of what it means to be young, Black, and anchored in a diasporic visual culture. Before translating his ideas into compositions, Asamoah records his thoughts in diary entries and notes. Far from being mere preparatory sketches.
The publication shines a spotlight on two central series of analog photographs: Forever Lasts Until It Ends (2022) and The Day After Tomorrow (2021). For both projects, Asamoah traveled to his parents’ native Ghana. With an essay by Brooklyn J. Pakathi and a conversation between Gabriel Proedl and the artist.
