‘Syndrome of the Present’ is a research-driven art project that brings together artists and scholars from different geographies and disciplines. The project stems from the necessity to examine the potentiality of art in times of change, what art can become and what it can do to respond to the conditions that have shaped and continue to shape present time. Syndrome of the Present developed around a series of questions about the essence of sovereignty and the boundaries of the political act, the threshold between political theology and religious politics, political imagination, aesthetics vs rhetoric, the constitution of the ‘non-citizen’, and the dispersion of information and propaganda through the evolution of media.
