A Francis Rambert invitation.
On the evening of 25 November at 7 p.m., the Cité de l'Architecture and Francis Rambert invite you to an amazing evening entitled:
Radical Pathos [Architecture from «le boudoir » _ prequel]
... both provocative and enigmatic, it heralds an experience where architecture, philosophy, and performance art converge in a space of tension and desire. Three unique figures will take part: François Roche, alias S/he, an architect whose projects explore the blurred boundaries between fiction, technology, and subjective strategies; Emanuele Coccia, a philosopher renowned for his reflections on the continuum between living beings, forms, and worlds; and Mika Tamori, a Japanese artist who will offer a live performance, inscribing the body and voice in the moment. At the heart of the evening, Roche and Coccia will engage in an impromptu four-handed “dispute” lasting two hours. Far from a simple debate, it will be a confrontation where thought becomes matter, where each rhetorical detour opens up a new space for reflection. Architecture, conceived by Roche as a narrative and critical device, will meet Coccia's philosophy, which questions the porosity between species: animal, plant, human, and imaginary. From this f(r)iction will emerge a field of experimentation where disciplines contaminate and deterritorialize each other. Mika Tamori's presence will add an angry hikikomori dimension: his performance will introduce a trance that transcends language, counterpointing the verbal jousting. Radical Pathos is therefore neither an academic conference nor a show, but a living laboratory, a prelude to other explorations where the intimate and the conflictual, intertwined with lines of flight, combine to invent new forms of shared thought. A moment when architecture becomes a boudoir, when the boudoir becomes a stage, and when the stage is transformed into a field of wild grasses, sexy and toxic...

He has participated in several scenarios and installations with fRoche_S/he, including ‘The Chamber of Memories to Come’ and ‘Impermanences Tractatus,’ among others.
f.Roche_S/he is a fugitive architect of French origin whose work explores the intersection between architecture, biology, computer science, robotics and philosophy, often questioning the boundaries between the natural and the artificial, developing an operative pathology of bio-cyberpunk. They have been represented by S/he, a hermaphroditic identity, since 1993. fR has taught at Columbia for nine years, RMIT for seven years, as well as Bartlett, Angewandte, IKA, USC-LA, Innsbruck, among others, and has been invited more than ten times to the Venice Biennale. Latest book: ‘Digital Disobediences’, Frac Centre: Next ‘Synesthesia’, Springer.
Mika Tamori, Japanese artist, lives in Tokyo. She produces in the form of trances as hypotheses of escape, in a psychotic and paranoid universe, herself afflicted with the symptom ‘hikikomori’ (antisocial mental disorder). Since 2017, she has been involved in the New Territories scenarios (Venice and Sydney Biennials, among others). She will be personally present at the Bangkok Biennale in 2026.
