Description
en During this week, we began working through the given score and progressed up until the fifth tier within the starter. Based on the provided aspects to consider for each tier, a series of decisions, inspirations, and key focal points emerged, which served as the foundation for initiating the development of an experimental performance.
Within the framework of the 1) social residency, shared points of interest included the themes of the collective ways of working: apocalypse, and the notion of a social experiment within the Icodaco project. In relation to the 2) decision-making process, the group agreed upon a specific mechanism, which was consistently applied throughout the week. It was based on intuition that specific people embody certain options and one person - without knowing who embodies which option - makes the decision. Although a wide range of 3) themes surfaced, the primary focus converged around liminal spaces, the noiton of heterotopia by Michel Foucault, the current political situation in Hungary, and questions of survival, escape, and apocalypse.
In response to the theme of 4) body politics, we chose to engage in a walking practice, as well as a movement-based practice happening in front of the Parliament. The experiences gained through these activities were later translated into forms that could be shared and re-experienced by others within the 5) modality/mode/media section.
For the short video, we incorporated elements drawn from these shared experiences, including the props, installations, methods, and thematic concerns that emerged throughout the week. The resulting video can be understood as an experimental composition that continues the process of sharing by transforming individual experiences into a new, collective one. It is important to emphasize that this work was not conceived as a finished product, nor was it intended for an external audience. It embodies and embraces the interests as well as the challanges that we faced throughout the process.
