Uma história contada em redor do fogo
A story told around the fire explores the power and conditions of the formation of myths, memories, narratives, or practices — individual, collective, communal —, looking for the movements of their persistence, resistance, transmutation, or total explosion, through material, technical, linguistic or symbolic flows. Feeling an atmosphere that seeks a certain mystical vibration, we circulate amid materialities that preserve their own rumour, ancestral or elemental productivities, strong images and rituals, affective and intimate tales, but also speculative fables, glimpsing new future possibilities through the hallucinated mingling of traces of the past and the present, creating horizons of trans-temporal and trans-subjective relations.
“Trip to the Planetarium”
In the contemporary context where climate emergencies question the supposed supremacy of humans in the world and of all its technical apparatus of planetary mobilization, this residency project intends to weave a potent constellatory territory, both critical and investigative, as well as artistic and creative, having as backdrop in the background a thought about the constitutive possibilities of the body, matter, language and technique, in its multiple sensitive, metabolic, material, symbolic, technological and imagery dimensions, favoring a speculative approach that allows to accentuate an umbilical and primitive relationship of the human with its radical exteriority, that is, with the planet and its indissoluble rhythms, proposing, in this effort, different cosmologies where the human, the natural and the artificial can coexist in a state of mutual non-predation.
