Pierre Schwarzer is a PhD Candidate at New York University’s Department of French Literature, Thought, and Culture. He has been visiting Columbia’s Center for Comparative Media this academic year. His research examines the concept of the substitute in recent French philosophy with regards to questions of technics and the digital. Pierre’s poetic practice has grown alongside his training in philosophy in Berlin and New York. He is currently working on a book project for a series of prose poems always composed of two parts, stretching from 2020 into now, drawing on questions of the fragment, punctuation, memory, and dust.
