How many bodies go into one body

•

The point of contact of two organisms, of two bodies, forms a territory that is linked to a larger community fabric of sympoiesis; when one of them becomes ill or goes through a difficult vital situation, the other sustains and modifies itself. How many bodies go into one body? Infinite, because our lives are interwoven in the same skin that is constituted collectively.

APACHETA

Durational performance in search of an altar, a sacred place, a mound of stones. With them I come into contact and I build myself as an offering. I am body stone, body earth, that sustains and sustains me, sacred point where something ends and something begins. We are part of the same materiality, collective landscape and expanded soundscape.

BOOK

How many bodies go into one body is a body-book, an amulet book, an oracle book. An expanse of skins and territories that resonate with the deep contact offered by the links that lengthen the threshold of life.
