- Samenvatting:
- The “demand for anthropological re-formulation”—described by Michelle Nicol in her essay on Carsten Höller as an important feature of the nineties—also surfaces in Robert Smithson’s slide presentation on HOTEL PALENQUE, given over twenty years ago. For the astonished architecture students at the University of Utah, Smithson documents nothing short of a different view of the world. His slide lecture is published here as our Insert for the first time in its entirety. The impulse underlying Smithsons’s suggestion to read unexpected places and ob¬jects as a rich source of energy may be compared to Fabrice Hybert’s idea of transporting a truck-sized cake of soap from supermarket to supermarket and calling it TRADUCTION (Translation). This is perception with a new focus: Smithson invests a dilapidated hotel with the aura of ancient Mayan architecture, Hybert swims upstream in psycho-economic currents, and Carsten Höller analyzes the social, biological, and physiological processes of the human condition in the form, for instance, of self-strangulating flowers.
