Reading & Discussion:
Luise Meier – Hyphen
“It was like a magic trick that this acceptance of the restriction seemed to simultaneously remove the barriers. That by temporarily locating oneself in the individual node, one began to see the entire fabric with all eyes.”
When there is a power outage lasting weeks for the first time worldwide in 2025, contrary to expectations, no panic breaks out. And even when power grids and supply chains, money flows and the Internet finally collapse, it does not mean the end of civilization. Instead, for the people in Luise Meier’s multifaceted novel Hyphen, the search born out of necessity for other, even non-human, ways of relating that enable them to survive together and care for one another begins. Invisible, historical and completely new forms of networking emerge, thus expanding the scope of possibilities for a different world.
On Saturday, November 2nd, Luise Meier will read from her new novel “Hypen”. Luise Meier, born in East Berlin in 1985, works as a freelance author, theater maker and service worker. Dropout of philosophy, social and cultural anthropology, cultural studies in Berlin, Aarhus and Frankfurt an der Oder. Her essays have appeared in Missy Magazin, Triëdere, Freitag and nd, among others. In 2018, Matthes & Seitz Berlin published “MRX Maschine”, a book that she had already presented in the museum. And now, most recently, in August 2024, the new novel “Hyphen”.
The reading begins at 6 p.m. Admission is free. The event will be held in German.
