Actions based on a ritual sense of time-space and a radical listening to/in the site. The embodied memory and the memory harvested in space become the symphony of pulsations that trigger the action. The materiality present in the given place is understood as another matter-spirit that encounters ours in a dialogue of corporalities, where layers of affect-effect are constantly produced from this encounter. Human/nature; subject/object; presence/absence; communal/individual are some of the binaries that become blurred.

Creating pluriverses of signs and symbols rooted in the philosophy and poetry of subversive love and extreme care. Feeling with the waters as water subjects that we are, appealing to our interspecies response-ability. The porosity, fluidity, and wateriness of our beings is not metaphorical; it is physical, chemical, and political. We are shaped by the spaces we inhabit and the relationships we establish with humans and non-humans. We are affected by and affect everything around us, as our bodies are breathing membranes, not unbreakable boundaries. Our watery constitution allows for this constant exchange and metamorphosis. Our bodies of water intertwine with other bodies of water that inhabit this planet.
