Artistic Research
This investigation begins with the idea that people show themselves not only in the private spaces -indoors-, but also in the streets –outdoors-. By showing themselves on their everyday activities, people leave a trace or mark the city in a personal way. Their acts can be seen through personal objects with which they live closely.
We mark objects or spaces in the action of making them ours. Belonging is imprinting ourselves in space. Belonging is a two ways concept, at the time you imprint yourself, your folds or tissues, over outside space, this space marks you as well.
Spaces cannot hide what has happen over them. Every pathway, every action leaves a mark, a scar. Order tries to hide these documents, city's memories. Order tries to maintain always the same place; tries to prevent unsuspected confrontations. But the public space and the public sphere are alive. They change, have memory, and show it.
