There is no such thing as a real story. Stories—to paraphrase American historian Hayden White—are not lived, they are told. In this walk-through Ana Teixeira Pinto will look at narrative and the structural relation between fictional form and non-fictional subject matter in the work of Peter Friedl.
Ana Teixeira Pinto is a writer and cultural theorist based in Berlin. She is a guest professor at Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg (AdBK) and a theory tutor at the Dutch Art Institute.
