In his contribution for the 8th Berlin Biennale for Contemporary Art (2014), Abonnenc takes as a departure point the ethnographic and entomologic collections that his grandfather gathered in Gabon and French Guyana in 1931 while working as a health officer. Such practice inevitably raises questions about the ways in which modern scientific knowledge was closely tied to and facilitated by colonialism. This book, based on a series of discursive events organised in the framework of Abonnenc’s project, fosters and continues critical conversations between artists, researchers, activists, and theorists.
