Dimitri Reist is a multidisciplinary designer and researcher based in Bern and Brussels. His research-practice focuses on questions of responsibility and value-making in visual knowledge production, by creating space for perspectives that critically reflect on dominant narratives within the discipline of design and all its iterations.
With “The Answer to the Crisis is the Crisis,” he is developing a film series about cities with a strong cultural- historical presence, that comparatively examines how local conditions—especially migration and climate change—interact with cultural history to shape forms of visual knowledge production.
The first part – created in the framework of his residency at
@istitutosvizzero – gives space to the voices of a network of designers, activists and cultural workers he met during my stay in Palermo. Through their conversations he learned what it means for them to live and work in Sicily and how they embed their practices locally in order to create change from the place they are acting from. In their reflections, design becomes an act of care and belonging, rooted in material culture and in the shared struggle to inhabit the world differently.
