Georges Didi-Huberman: “Emotions are unclassifiable”
Inside the exhibition “In the Troubled Air…”
Georges Didi-Huberman is one of the European philosophers who has most deeply reflected on the impact of images in art and contemporary culture. As curator of the exhibition “In the Troubled Air… Image, emotion, utopia”, he questions the nature of human emotions and argues that emotions do not belong to us, but rather exist in space – in the air itself – between the subject and the object observed. Didi-Huberman critiques the attempt to categorise emotions and invites us, in the current context of war, violence and visual saturation, to pause, observe children and listen to thinkers and poets such as García Lorca, who inspires the exhibition.
