Rassemblant 25 textes d’auteurs venant de différents horizons, Cosmograms est conçu comme une extension du film de Melik Ohanian Seven Minutes Before (2004), une allégorie cinématographique de l’épuisement d’une certaine forme narrative et de l’avènement d’un nouveau paradigme spatio-temporel, avec une vingtaine de contributions d’auteurs venant de divers horizons.

Cosmograms is conceived as an extension of Melik Ohanian’s film Seven Minutes Before (2004), a cinematic allegory of both the exhaustion of a certain narrative form and the new privilege accorded to space over time. Collecting twenty-three texts by authors from diverse fields of investigation and research, Cosmograms attempts to map the multiple coordinates of this new spatial paradigm.
In his conversation with the editors, the philosopher Peter Sloterdijk claims that “we are now living an epoch in which a more or less satisfied and luxurious conscience is learning the art of arranging its space. Modern man is a sort of ‘curator’ … which is to say, an exhibition planner of the space that he himself inhabits. Every man has become a museum curator. We could say that installation art is the common meta-profession that everyone is obliged to practice. The innocence of the traditional habitat is lost for good.”
