Abstract

This article proposes to read Italian Incompletion or Incompiuto (i.e. the complex spatial, political, economical and societal phenomenon that left hundreds of unfinished spaces in Italy), through the theologocial categories of Kingdom and Garden as they have been elaborated by Giorgio Agamben. Through this perspective, spaces of Incompletion will emerge as fallen spaces that can be put to work within an economy of salvation that, with Eric Santner, can be defined as mana-ical. Against this background – and following Agamben’s insights into the possibility of a different figure of the Garden – the article understands the artist collective Alterazioni Video’s engagement with Incompiuto as an attempt to break with this economy through a specific Eden project, one for which Eden is here and not.
