»LEIDENSCHAFTEN« SYMPOSIUM TAG 1: MODE, SCHÖNHEIT, WOHNEN

In the organizer's words:

14.00 - 15.00
"PASSION FOR FASHION"
Emanuele Coccia

Talk with: Barbara Vinken

How we dress has a lot to do with our emotions. Clothing can give us self-confidence and create identity; fashion can set us apart or provoke us. A piece of clothing can lend dignity - especially in dark times.

The Italian star philosopher Emanuele Coccia turns our traditional assumptions about clothing on their head. In his book "The life of forms. A Philosophy of Re-Enchantment" (Hanser, Engl. by Thomas Stauder), he makes it clear that fashion is perhaps the most radical of all art forms.
most radical of all art forms, because it takes place every day on the street. In conversation with Barbara Vinken, novelist and fashion theorist ("Ver-Kleiden", "Angezogen" and others), he takes a surprisingly new look at clothing, identity and freedom.

Event languages: French, English & German

15.30 - 16.30
"LEIDENSCHAFT SCHÖNHEIT"
Rabea Weihser

Interview: Marie Schoess (BR)

Nothing captivates our gaze as much as a face. Is it friendly or grumpy? Does it attract us or repel us? And why do we actually want to change our natural appearance - through cosmetics, jewelry or other interventions?

Our relationship with our face reveals a lot about our desires, but also about the society in which we live. From the big eyes of the pharaohs to the smooth surfaces of social media beauties, Rabea Weihser takes us on a journey through the world of beauty in "How we became so beautiful. A biography
of the Face" (Diogenes) through the crazy cosmos of ideals. Her book is an exciting expedition to the reason for our aesthetic preferences and shows us that the face is the mirror of our soul: The face is the mirror of our soul.

17.00 - 18.00
"LEIDENSCHAFT WOHNEN"
Doris Dörrie

Interview: Tanja Graf

She never wanted to settle down and put down roots, but how others live
living - that has always fascinated her: Doris Dörrie, celebrated filmmaker and author. On her travels, she experiences how closely living is linked to the respective culture. And in her work as a filmmaker, she has become an expert in the creation of artificial living environments.

In her new book "Wohnen" (Hanser Berlin), Doris Dörrie now scrutinizes her own home. She describes her parents' house, the student shacks and shared flats, reflects on her experimental life in the country and questions the role of the housewife. An evening about one of the most important places in our lives: our home.
