- **Event Description**: 📷 Artist Talk: August Korb – “Thislessness”

Join us on 26 March at 18:00 for an artist talk by August Korb, who will discuss the creative process and philosophical ideas behind their new photo series “Thislessness”.

Inspired by Jaan Kaplinski’s novel The Same River and the writings of Simone Weil, Korb’s work explores the fleeting and numinous experience of nature that Kaplinski’s protagonist calls “the This.” Blending philosophy and photography, the talk will move between art and thought.

📍 Philosophicum (Jakobi 2), room 336, Tartu

The photo series will be on display in the philosophy corridor (2nd floor) from 21 March – 12 June 2026.

August Korb is a multidisciplinary artist from Pittsburgh (USA) currently living in Tartu and studying in the University of Tartu’s Philosophy MA programme. 

The event will include half an hour presentation from the artist, along with half an hour for discussion and questions. Please private message August Korb if you would like to attend this event over Zoom.

August Korbi fotonäituse „Thislessness“ („Sel(l)etus“) avamine filosoofia osakonnas
 
Olete väga oodatud kunstniku ja filosoofiatudengi August Korbi fotonäituse „Thislessness“ („Sel(l)etus“) avamisele 26. märtsil kell 18.00 Jakobi 2 filosoofia osakonna koridori ja ruumi 336. Avamisel tutvustab ingliskeelne kunstnik filosoofilisi ideid, mis inspireerisid teda fotoseeriat looma ning räägib oma loomeprotsessist.
 
August Korb on multidistsiplinaarne kunstnik Pittsburghist (USA), kes elab praegu Tartus ja õpib Tartu Ülikooli filosoofia magistriõppes.
Lummatuna Jaan Kaplinski poolautobiograafilisest romaanist „Seesama jõgi“, asus August romaani peategelase jälgedes teekonnale läbi metsa. Kunstniku korduvaid retki Eesti loodusmaastiku sügavusse ajendas soov puutuda kokku looduse pühaliku kogemusega, mis raamatu noort peategelast nii sügavalt paelus. Kaplinski annab sellele lootusrikkale, rahulikule ja põgusale nähtusele nime „See“.
 
Korbi töös võib märgata sarnasusi Kaplinski kirjelduste ja filosoof Simone Weili essees „Attention and Will“ („Tähelepanu ja tahe“) käsitletud ideede vahel. Kasutades Kaplinski poeetilist kujundikeelt, Weili müstilist sõnavara ja omaenda fotograafiat, püüab Korb luua fenomenoloogilise käsitluse „See“-kogemusest. Kunstniku esitlus paikneb filosoofia ja kunsti piirialal, olles harjutus nende kahe valdkonna vahelises tõlkimises.
