Synopsis

In 2005 Adrian Piper secretly emigrated from the United States and several months passed before anyone realized she was missing. She reappeared in Berlin and settled there, consistently and steadfastly refusing to return to the United States or explain why she left. Many assume that the cause was the discovery that her name had been placed on the US Department of Transportation Safety Board's list of suspicious travelers. Others highlight Wellesley College's forced termination of his professorship. Still others speculate that George W. Bush's presidency, American racism or the invasion of Iraq caused her to leave.

All these conjectures are unfounded. She flees to Berlin. Travel Memoirs is a gripping autobiographical story that provides a complete account of the facts.

À propos de l'auteur

Adrian Piper (1948, New York), established as a conceptual and minimalist artist as well as a performer on the New York art scene of the late 1960s, Piper often raises uncomfortable questions about politics, racial and gender identity, and asks people to confront truths about themselves and the society in which they live. The concept of permanent struggle against racism, xenophobia, social injustice and hatred is the core of her philosophical, artistic and activist practice. As a woman artist and philosopher, Piper’s work also often questions her experiences of sexism and misogyny. In this sense, her research has inspired entire generations of contemporary artists. She won the Golden Lion award as best artist at the 2015 Venice Biennale.
