Impetus is movement and energy, providing the necessary state of mind to initiate any action or change, but it can also lead to acceleration, excessive force or violence. The idea that underlies Ímpetu is to explore these sensations, to evoke the certainties and contradictions that occur when following an internal impulse and how these manifest themselves at the corporal level.
In the Middle Ages, the now obsolete ‘theory of impetus’, was developed in order to explain movement in physical bodies. They wondered what was the reason why a stone thrown into the air continued its movement before falling back to the ground. What was driving it during its trajectory?

En la Edad Media se desarrolló la hoy obsoleta ‘teoría del ímpetu‘ con el fin de explicar el por qué del movimiento en los cuerpos físicos. Aquellos estudiosos se preguntaban cuál era la razón por la que una piedra lanzada al aire continuaba su movimiento antes de caer de nuevo al suelo. ¿Qué era lo que la impulsaba durante su trayectoria?
