ABSTRACT

Focusing on This Progress and Ann Lee that were part of his Carte Blanche in 2016, this study provides a comprehensive analysis of Tino Sehgal’s constructed situations that realize autobiographic situations in embodied experiences. More specifically, the study suggests that Sehgal’s constructed situations activate an ever-evolving experiential assemblage operated by the bodily attending of human participants, virtual stories (including reanimation of the past in the present and a sense of futurity), and a museum space as both a physical infrastructure and a social and cultural institution. By exploring Sehgal’s constructed situations as ecological structures of experiential assemblage, this study unpacks the complex dimensions of the autobiographic situation that is ‘embodied’ and ‘lived.’ In particular, it focuses on the ways in which Sehgal’s constructed situations solicit the experience of affection by creating experimental and non-habitual environments that induce bodily encounters and materialize a multiplicity of temporalities that continuously refreshes, or, better, depresences itself in these encounters. Furthermore, this study explores the process of individuation or selfdifferentiation enabled by partaking in experiential assemblage. In Sehgal’s constructed situations that constitute relational fields of shifting relations, multiple temporalities intersect through gesticulatory activities as well as collective storytelling, and the ontological affirmation of self-differentiation emerges in these multi-level bodily interactions.
