emotional landscapes. What is not evident and what is manifested..

​

Under the direction of Judith Saylor on October 19 and 20, two groups of artists, ACto (Tarifa) and KITCHEN (Gibraltar) carried out an experimental workshop in a space located in the fertile plain of Tarifa. A progressive work from the individual to the collective through suggestion, evocation and introspection. Immersed in an atmosphere created with different audios and with different space-personal relationships, we create a network of emotions, sensations and content that we use as a link between the group and as the beginning of our personal project. As a game and accidentally and experimentally, with the materials offered by the organization, our own and those shared, we searched for a creative thread of expression. The baggage of each one, their memories allowed to create a multiple and rich map.

The score found in the Hyeronimus Bosch triptych, the first known melody written by man, Hurrian Hymn to Nikkal and a fragment of Vox Balaenae by avant-garde composer George Henry Crumb served as catalysts to create a work from the most intimate to group synergy. .

The works were made in situ and in my case, enjoying a certain self-imposed precariousness in terms of materials, a restricted palette and limited elements. I decided to work only in the proposed hours of the workshop, two intensive days and in the spaces offered. a delight
