An experimental essayistic engagement with a French philosopher’s study of movement in autistic children
Wandering Echoes veers between philosophical thought and poetic experimentation, asking for a reading by way of multiple and meandering lines. Underpinning the book is a profound engagement with Fernand Deligny, whose work with autistic children in the 1960s and '70s posed a more experimental understanding of the diversely abled. Wandering Echoes is a work under the influence of Deligny, amplifying his gestural philosophy through lines of thought whose echoes and vibrations lead into a labyrinthine text of personal experience, soft moments and deep restlessness. Subtle and demanding, the book is ultimately an act of poetic-doing which, for the author, enables emergent forms of solidarity. Luis Guerra is a Chilean visual artist, philosopher, and poet living and working in Barcelona. He has been a fellow resident at the Saastamoinen Foundation (2021) and a fellow grantee by the Kone Foundation (2020) in Helsinki, Finland. As a visual artist, his work revolves around the imaginary line that Western culture has created between art and philosophy.
