From an expanded concept of performance practices, SED seeks to delve into the written word, its drawing and tracing, as well as narrative strategies, ways of doing things and the devices and procedures for communicating it. SED uses text as a network of ideas, images and written landscapes to move them in a multidimensional space.
The piece develops as a kind of word soup where the word itself, its literal translation, determines the action. Texts drawn in a choreographic way, writings that draw words, words that move through space printed on different objects… A journey of actions that investigates the very anatomy of words and language, working between strangeness and familiarity so that the real experience of the spectator emerges. How much flexibility can a word contain?
A contextual site specific that invites the audience to experience the construction of the work alongside the artist, with no stands, no seats, no fixed points. A live exhibition montage that will be installed so that its remains, traces and clues can stimulate the imagination of those who see them and subsequently experience: the reconstruction of the facts from what is undone.
