I WAS MORE AMERICAN THAN THE AMERICANS - DONATI...

In the mid-1970s Sylvère Lotringer created Semiotext(e)  a philosophical group that became a
magazine and then a publishing house. Since its creation Semiotext(e) has been the place for
stimulating dialogue between artists and philosophers  and American artistic and intellectual
life for the past fifty years has largely depended on it. The model of the journal and the
publishing house revolves essentially around the notion of the collective  and its creator
Sylvère Lotringer has rarely divulged his personal journey: his existence as a hidden child
during the Second World War  the liberating and then traumatic experience of the collective in
the kibbutz  his Parisian activism in the 1960s  his time of wandering  which took him by way
of Istanbul to the United States  and then of course his American years  the way he mingled his
nightlife with the formal experimentation he invented with Semiotext(e) and his classes. Since
the early 2010s Donatien Grau has developed the habit of visiting Sylvère Lotringer during his
trips to Los Angeles  some of their dialogues were published or held in public. We are given an
entry into Sylvère Lotringer's life  his friendships  his choices  his admiration for some of
the leading thinkers of our times. The conversations show bursts of life  traces of a journey 
through texts and existence itself  with an unusual intensity.
