Archaeology of an action. Essay I

•

Archaeology of an action. Essay I is part of an in progress project called Archaeology of an action that I have been developing since 2022 and that consists of different pieces and essays in relation to questions such as: Is it possible to remember with the body, how does memory inhabit, is remembering a (performative) action, what connecting actions do bodies and territories weave when they meet each other?

In Archaeology of an action. Essay I I pursue the action, I search for its origin, its remains, its traces, its ruins. I allow the soles of my feet to make contact with the ground and reach its center, and the eyes of my hands to travel along the surface of the air awakening forgotten gestures. I am a passenger of a landscape that is created in doing and in reciprocity.
