\u201cTo perceive is not to observe from the outside a world stretched out before oneself; on the contrary, it is to enter into a point of view, just as we empathize. Perception is participation.\u201d (Lapoujade)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For a week, the workshop proposes an exercise in paying attention and listening to the landscapes and territories of Ibirapuera Park. We will observe shapes, patterns, textures, and gestures, seeking the grammars of nature expressed in its beings, materials, and processes.
We will focus our investigations on the smallest detail. We will use cartography as a living method of research and recording. By drawing lines, noting perceptions, and recognizing repetitions, we open up space to translate observations into provisional materialities. This practice draws on contemporary art references, site-specific notions, and collective practices, fostering a reflection on how to create beauty in dialogue with the territory.
Mentored by Jane Hall and Vitor Bar\u00e3o, the group will combine perceptions and insights through the creation of an aesthetic object. We will experiment with forms of expression that emerge from the encounter between landscape, body, and group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
