Please join us for the celebration of Eva Meyer’s reader Remembering Forward taking place on 22 June 2025 from 6 pm at Zwinger Galerie, Mansteinstr. 5, 10783 Berlin.
At 7 pm Eva will be serenaded to the tunes and lyrics of “Lautsprecher” by Suchan Kinoshita, and “The Interventionist” by Nassim J. Abu Sarari.
Remembering Forward brings together essays by philosopher, writer, and filmmaker Eva Meyer, spanning her work across four decades—from her first book Zählen und Erzählen: Für eine Semiotik des Weiblichen (Counting and Recounting: For a Semiotics of the Feminine), from 1983, to her most recent one, Mondän werden (Becoming Worldly), published in 2023. The essays in this reader are drawn from a diverse range of Meyer’s books, with some published here for the first time in English translation. Organized around recurrent motifs in Meyer’s œuvre, the collection traces the seemingly impossible activity of remembering forward—a thought experiment in which language opens up to its own memory and creates surroundings for becoming worldly.
Edited with an introduction by Vivian Liska, author of When Kafka Says We, an afterword by Laurence A. Rickels, author of I Think I Am. Philip K. Dick, and a catalog of Meyer’s works in English translation. Translated from German by Catherine Kerkhoff-Saxon and Wilfried Prantner, Jonathan Blower, and Michael Saman, among others. Design by Flo Gaertner / magma design studio, Karlsruhe.
The gathering is organized by Eran Schaerf to honor the book release and, especially, a lifetime of thought and writing.
Our heartfelt congratulations!
