Object-territory
How do we perceive borders and with what criteria do we create the maps that delimit them? Objeto-territorio will question established conceptions of borders by using sound as a means to redefine space. Since it is intangible, sound is capable of transcending established notions of space. During a sound performance, the territory around La Capella will be re-mapped, taking into account not only exclusions and omissions, but also the lived experiences and local knowledge of those who reside there. The performance will include objects to share acoustic memories and nostalgic sounds of the territories that have been left behind. These objects, which will be acquired in the surroundings of La Capella, will be everyday items, foreign instruments and various sentimental items..
