If You Love Solitude, You Don't Love Freedom


content


OHT confronts a classic of Western literature; Frankenstein or the modern Prometheus. Moving around the time of the experiment, OHT makes partial and vertical lunges into the text, without limits of form, language and duration. The novel becomes material to be examined, dissected, re-stitched, a body available for different experiments: a performance, a reading session, an installation, an EP, an aborted radio drama, a filmic adaptation and finally a book are generated as parts of the same experimentation that proceeds horizontally through the Shelley’s story to investigate its multiple ramifications.

Frankenstein. If You Love Solitude You Don't Love Freedom is the publication that brings together OHT's research and Filippo Andreatta's travels to the monster’s places.

A book as a monstrous object: grafted between the pages of Mary W. Shelley appear the materials produced by the encounter between OHT and the novel. They are pieces, fragments of works whose life takes place elsewhere and which here interact with Shelley's original text exploding it.
