Eyal Weizman's lecture "Violence at the Threshold of Detectability" introduces the work of Forensic Architecture - an agency composed of artists, filmmakers and architectural researchers - that operates at the intersection of architecture, violence and law. Using architecture as sensor and agent to analyse and respond to political conflicts, FA's research encompasses a range of issues and case studies, from the situation in Israel/Palestine environmental violence in Guatemala to drone warfare in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen and Somalia.
Eyal Weizman was the IZK Visiting Professor in the Summer Semester 2016. His public lecture took place in the context of the IZK Theory Series 2016 and was organized by the Institute for Contemporary Art / Institut für Zeitgenössische Kunst (IZK), Graz University of Technology, in cooperation with Kunsthaus Graz, House of Architecture (HDA) and Camera Austria.
