33 VERTEBRAE
How do we evolve in a state of crisis? How do we resist while we are adapting?
”33 Vertebrae” is an invitation to enter Body and map out reverberated movements and activity towards territorial agency: becoming and unbecoming, claiming and reclaiming - shifting boundaries between occupied and shared spaces, constantly forming and deforming in a perpetual flux.
In a brutally corrupted country where society is dismembered, where individuals and groups are turned against each other in the battle of survival and proof of belonging, of political loyalties and separations, of failed governments, wars, and power trips, what spaces are left for bodies? What holds together a dismembered body of bodies?
Is there place left for us?
The project offers a space to recirculate an experience of a collapsing reality, proposing new landscapes to call ‘grounds of belonging’ and ‘spines of identity’, proposing a playground for interaction and communication that is removed from the overpowering rational mind.
