Bodysites

bodysites1

Can a playful walk in public spaces have political or artistic implications or make us experience a certain place as new? Can we give a new meaning to different spaces, everyday places, degraded or underestimated? As in the tourist tours where the guide leads the group of tourists, the participants in Bodysites will be guided through the city of Olot.  Throughout the itinerary there will be moments to experience the places traveled in a specific way based on psychophysical, performative and perceptual proposals. Narrative actions will create new experiences, new memories and new lived landscapes.

Duration: 2h 
Participants: 15 to 20 
Language: cat/engl
Material: notebook, pen  

Una caminada lúdica en espais públics pot comportar implicacions polítiques, artístiques o fer-nos experimentar un lloc determinat com a nou? Podem donar nous significats a espais quotidians, subestimats o degradats? Igual que en els tours turístics on la persona que guia condueix al grup de turistes, les persones participants a Bodysites es deixaran guiar per la ciutat d’Olot. Al llarg de l’itinerari hi haurà moments per experimentar els llocs transitats de forma específica a partir de propostes psicofísiques, performàtiques i perceptives. Les narra-accions aniran teixint noves experiències, noves memòries i nous paisatges viscuts.

Durada: 2h
Participants: 15 a 20
Material: llibreta i boli (possible material: auriculars per al mòbil)

pedestrian acts

By de Certeau: In “Walking in the City”, de Certeau conceives pedestrianism as a practice that is performed in the public space, whose architecture and behavioural habits substantially determine the way we walk. For de Certeau, the spatial order “organises an ensemble of possibilities (e.g. by a place in which one can move) and interdictions (e.g. by a wall that prevents one from going further)” and the walker “actualises some of these possibilities” by performing within its rules and limitations. “In that way,” says de Certeau, “he makes them exist as well as emerge.” Thus, pedestrians, as they walk conforming to the possibilities that are brought about by the spatial order of the city, constantly repeat and re-produce that spatial order, in a way ensuring its continuity. But, a pedestrian could also invent other possibilities. According to de Certeau, “the crossing, drifting away, or improvisation of walking privilege, transform or abandon spatial elements.” Hence, the pedestrians could, to a certain extent, elude the discipline of the spatial order of the city. Instead of repeating and re-producing the possibilities that are allowed, they can deviate, digress, drift away, depart, contravene, disrupt, subvert, or resist them. These acts, as he calls them, are pedestrian acts.
