Susan Sontag
Revisited

Susan Sontag – essayist, writer, director, and theorist –, singular phenomenon and an icon of American culture criticism. Ten years after her death, the Symposium Susan Sontag Revisited addressed the continuing relevance of her work.

Sontag combined ingenuity and a boundless curiosity with unconventional critical analyses and avantgarde commitments; open towards all things new in culture and art, she supported many artists just breaking onto the scenes of literature, fine art, and film from the early 1960s onwards and helped them gain worldwide recognition. The two-day symposium at the ICI Berlin featured lectures, conversations, talks, and film essays by artists and scholars who were closely connected to Susan Sontag and have dealt with her work intensively.
