OVERMORROW'S LIBRARY
The Centre d'Art Contemporain Genève presents Overmorrow’s Library, a podcast series by Federico Campagna. The library for "the day after tomorrow" is dedicated to books and authors whose work explores the limits of the "world" as the frame of sense through which our consciousness experiences the chaos of reality. Each new episode presents a book that engages with the challenge of world-making, with the end-time of a world, or with the eternal unworldly. Spanning mysticism, politics, mythology, philosophy, video-game design and more, the shelves of Overmorrow’s Library are a space for experimenting with the apocalypse, and with the ignition of new cosmogonies.
The entire podcast series is available on Spotify and on the website of CACG, here.
