 olai Ssorin-Chaikov (Social Anthropology\, Cambridge)\n\n\nKhadija von Zin
 nenburg Carroll and Michal Murawski will present their most recent collabo
 ration on Semi-Prison\, \n\nwill present their most recent collaboration o
 n Semi-Prison\, a performance installation that investigates what happens 
 to the relationship between you and your own home\, when a judge or a poli
 ceman turns it into a prison. Semi-Prison is an ambitious large-scale inst
 allation based on a conceptual ethnography of dissidents under house arres
 t. It puts the visitor in the midst of what goes on inside an Embassy\, wh
 en an outlaw fleeing the state moves in and turns it into a residence-cum-
 sanctuary (diplomatic asylum). This presentation offers a peek into what w
 ill be presented and invites the audience for feedback\n\nSemi-Prison is s
 tructured on the same principles as Khadija von Zinnenburg Carroll’s bod
 y of work in East Berlin’s former diplomatic buildings\, Embassy Embassy
  (2010)\, by recreating in various media\, on a scale of 1:1\, five contra
 sting spaces of state-enforced domestic confinement within the eerily drea
 ry rooms of a semi-detached house. In it artists explore how the twin Levi
 athans of state power and mass culture make their presence felt within the
  intimate zone of the home. The content of the recreated spaces are determ
 ined through original anthropological and archival investigations carried 
 out by the artists involved\, and build on ‘ethnographic conceptualist
 ’ experiments carried out during 2011-2013 out by a group of artists and
  ethnographers including Nikolai Ssorin-Chaikov\, Carroll and Murawski at 
 Cambridge University.\n\n\nOpen to all. No registration required
