Manifesto It’s Time To – 2020
It is time to reclaim attention as a form of presence. To perceive the body not as separate from the world, but as continuously shaped through relation, movement and coexistence. It is time to recognize space, matter, time and others as active participants in the construction of experience. Rather than proposing escape or transcendence, the work invites embodied forms of perception grounded in proximity, spatial awareness and relational presence.
1 — To inhabit the body as a site of attention, perception and creation.
2 — To recognize ourselves as part of larger temporal, ecological and planetary cycles.
3 — To experience the body in continuity with mineral, vegetal and animal forms of existence.
4 — To establish forms of dialogue between bodies, materials, environments and living systems.
5 — To work through limits rather than against them — excluding nothing, retaining nothing, resisting normative forms of organization.
6 — To transform opposition into processes of relation, negotiation and movement.
7 — To engage matter as fluid potential, continuously shifting between form, force and transformation.
8 — To expand perception through attentive engagement with multiple layers of reality and experience.
9 — To understand creation as a relational and collective process of continuous transformation.
10 — To remain open to processes of renewal, displacement and reconfiguration.
11 — To recognize existence as an ongoing process of embodiment, relation and becoming.
12 — To understand the body as the medium through which the work emerges, materializes and continues into the world.
