THE UNCONSCIOUS MEADOW SOCIAL PARASITES


City-Re-think of ill-ness

Concept:


Rethinking the space as a space that subjectively can suspend the invariants and metaphors of a living organism.


The city as a body is a metaphor without logic and against order.

It's an approach that centers the space as a vulnerable body that needs to be restored, cured, changed.

The narrative content is extended into a poetic and symbolic reference to the illness of a living body.


The site-specific intervention  encounter the illness as a property of the space: a ruthless appropriation of invisible symptoms on the functionality of organs and parts of a body/sapce.

 The hilling process illustrate concepts of topography and space surgery in order to re-write the physical damage of the patient/space.


The performance works as a perception of  living processes that emerges from an invasion of cells of horrid kind. The perception of symptoms such as damaged, abandoned, broken, bruised, hounded make part of the concept of space illness as phenomenon that suggests and suspends traces of life.



Working methodology:


Walk/ derive( discovering the space):

 

The walk will be the tool to read the earth through traces. To reconstruct, to re-write invisible paths, objects, zones… that apparently seems to be forgotten. The search for a metabolism, engine or generator of life are primarily the focus of the walk. The mapping of the space will the connects the source of a structure that lays on the poetics of  space illness. 


Site-specific/ performance intervention:


The  production of new meaning  takes place when the metaphor is expressed by an action/ intervention.

Since it illustrates the diagnosis of the space and the pragmatic relation between the metaphor and the effect

 of what the metaphor is taken to mean. 

 The scenario/reality will provide the perfect context for framing the mediator/ performer as an agent acting upon an patient, as investigator of a methodology to decipher how the space process its own metabolism.

encounters at the end of the world, 9 tries for infinity

Coached by Stefan Heinrich,  I wanted to put infinity on stage.
A documentary  of Werner Herzog on Antarctica  and renaissance set design techniques were my sources of inspiration. The project began with 9 very simple and rough attempts and ended with a more detailed set design for an imaginary play about Antarctica in La Monnaie / De Munt in Brussels.
