Longing at times might feel like a crawl in the dirt. Desire and repulsion often go hand in hand, as for example described by Julia Kristeva in her 1980 book Powers of Horror: An Essay on Abjection. According to Kristeva, it is in the instance of abjection that distinctions between subject and object or between self and other become blurry, that meaning threatens to break down and that a liminal space emerges. During this evening we will investigate these and other interpretations of abjection while digging through layers of female desire, intuitively exploring liminality in abject states of longing, rejection, abandonment and laying on the floor of your apartment via poetry, essay, performance and film.

Sophie Collins will share an essay on the abject state of shame that touches upon the French notion of ‘nostalgie de la boue’, which translates to ‘nostalgia for mud’. Marie Lopez will read from her debut Segura, a collection of poetry and prose about depression, bodily disgust, attraction to older men and looking out of windows. The evening will be opened with a collaborative performative text and closed with a screening of Montagne Rouge, a short film on rat droppings and waiting by Sophie de Serière and Dagmar Bosma.

Programme in English

Sophie Collins grew up in Bergen, North Holland, and now lives in Edinburgh. small white monkeys, a text on self-expression, self-help and shame, was published by Book Works in 2017 as part of a commissioned residency at Glasgow Women’s Library.

The Following Scan Will Last Five Minutes, her translation of Lieke Marsman’s De volgende scan duurt vijf minuten will be published by Pavilion Poetry in April 2019. She is a lecturer at the University of Glasgow.

Marie López (b.1992) is an artist and a writer interested in pedestrian aesthetics, humor as acts of resistance, cosmic planes, God, mundanity and film.
