PEDRÁ

Pedrá is a quest for ways to ‘intra-act’, co-create and compose with stones found and collected on the coast of Cádiz, with the interest of developing a technology without devices. By performing choreographic operations in relation to the stones, the artist wonders if some kind of emerging low-tech intelligence could stem from them. Considering the stone a non-human body from an ecological and post-human perspective, the piece plays with the open tension and contradiction of having extracted the stones from their environment in order to carry out this work somewhere else.

Pedrá es una búsqueda de maneras de ‘intra-actuar’, co-crear y componer con piedras encontradas y recogidas en la costa de Cádiz, con el interés de desarrollar una tecnología sin dispositivos. Al realizar operaciones coreográficas en relación con las piedras, el artista se pregunta si se podrá vislumbrar algún tipo de inteligencia de low-tech emergente. Considerando la piedra como un cuerpo no-humano desde una perspectiva ecológica y posthumana, la obra juega con la tensión abierta y la contradicción de haber extraído las piedras de su entorno habitual con el fin de llevar a cabo este trabajo en otro lugar.

“(...) thinking as a material practice is thinking that unfolds through embodied enactment in interaction with the environment rather than through mental representations inside the head of the Cartesian disembodied subject.”

“(...) the world is an ongoing process of mattering in which phenomena come to matter in and through intra-actions.”

“(...) meaning is the result of how parts of the world become intelligible for other parts of the world in processes of enactment.”
