Ultrasanity – On Madness, Sanitation, Antipsychiatry, And Resistance

This publication presents a curatorial and research project that aims to move beyond insanity as the opposite of sanity, and imagine a space beyond what is understood as sane, i.e. ultrasanity—not a romanticization of madness or mental illness, but an effort to reconsider and challenge the notion of madness and the stigmas labelled on the so-called mad. The book unfolds as a collection of words, works, and images that informed, incited, and embodied SAVVY Contemporary’s project ‘Ultrasanity. On Madness, Sanitation, Antipsychiatry, and Resistance’, an exhibition and research project on the elasticity of sanity.
