secre(t)ions
In a context of drought and climatic emergency, the workshop proposes to pay attention to the waters that run through us. A space to think together about the fluids we secrete such as mucus, tears and saliva, and the perceptions we have of them. Thus, we will address how we imagine and relate to the human and non-human embodiment, the intimate and secret, the limits and the alien, the materiality of pure or impure water.
Through sensory and visual play, we will experiment with these biomaterials in order to transform our imaginary and expand it to other territories, to other scales. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
