French philosopher Jordi Vidal lives on the border between France and Spain. Servitude and Simulacra is at once a filmic essay about contemporary thought, a curated exhibition commentated by its author and a supplement to
his most recent book.
Vidal's polemical statements against postmodernism and its reduction of modernism's promise of social
equality and justice are the subject of much attention in Europe at the moment.
The film is being screened on Saturday April 26th from 2pm in the Tate Britain Auditorium. Seated on a first-come, first-served basis, for tickets call 020 7887 8888.
This film is screened twice. For more information on this series of events click HERE.
