living spaces

i am looking at living spaces this week.

and i am trying to find these non-spaces we talked about in my flat and outdoor and take pictures of them.

i would also like to make a collection of images of the basic components of spaces and in between spaces. i start with

walls
doors
windows
stairways

text to look at:
the poetics of space - Gastow Bachelard

Point Ephémère residency

Javiera Peón-Veiga and Gabriele Reuter

In residency from the 10-29 November
Open Studio: Friday 28th and Saturday 29th at 19h00 at le Point Ephémère, Paris

The research of Javiera Peón-Veiga is articulated around the body-space and body-object, and their possible relationship.
She conceives a choreographic language where body and space are tempted to be thought, felt, lived, as if they were a moving and continuously transforming landscape, as a self-generated organism.
Javiera Peón-Veiga practices the recycling as an activating principle of choreographic events. Thus, she fabricates a body that carries the condition of perishable, transitory and ephemeral.

In the course of this residency, Javiera Peón-Veiga invites German choreographer Gabriele Reuter, where the research consists of listing, cataloguing, indexing and naming spaces. The choreographers also attempt to establish a descriptive system of the physicality of spaces. With common questions “How does a body generates its own physicality regarding space?”, and “Can this body construct and actualize itself every moment?” the choreographers will cross their universes, make them speak, let themselves stimulate and influence by each other, revindicating and affirming their differences at the same time.

La recherche de Javiera Peón-Veiga s’articule autour du corps-espace et corps-objet, et leur relation possible.
Elle conçoit un langage chorégraphique où le corps et l’espace tentent d’être pensés, sentis, vécus, à la manière d’un paysage en mouvement et en perpétuelle transformation, à la manière d’un organisme qui s’auto-génère.
Javiera Peón-Veiga pratique le recyclage comme principe d’action de ses évènements chorégraphiques, elle fabrique ainsi un corps qui est conçu comme support à la condition du périssable, du transitoire et de l’éphémère.

Au cours de sa résidence, Javiera Peón-Veiga invite la chorégraphe allemande Gabriele Reuter, dont la recherche consiste à lister, cataloguer, répertorier, et nommer les espaces. La chorégraphe tente, ainsi, d’établir un système descriptif de la physicalité de l’espace. Avec comme questions communes « Comment un corps génère une physicalité propre, selon les espaces ? », et « ce corps peut-il se construire et s’actualiser à chaque moment ? » les chorégraphes vont croiser leurs univers, les faire dialoguer, se laisser stimuler et influencer l’une par l’autre, tout en revendiquant et affirmant leurs différences.

Walls

'I put a picture up on a wall. Then I forgot there is a wall. I no longer know what there is behind the wall, I know there is a wall, I now longer know this wall is a wall, I no longer know what a wall is. I no longer know that in my apartment there are walls, and that if there weren't any walls there would be no apartment. The wall is no longer what delimits and defines the place where I live, that which searates it from the other places where other people live, it is nothing more than a support for the picture. But I also forget the picture, I no longer look at it. I have put the picture on the wall so as to forget there was a wall, but in forgetting the wall, I forget the picture, too. There are pictures because there are walls. We have to be able to forget there are walls, and have found no better way to do that than pictures. Pictures efface walls. But walls kill pictures. Sp we need continually to be changing, either the wall or the picture, to be forever putting other pictures on the walls, or else constantly moving the picture from one wall to another.
