I her shoulder and saw a weird shadow. I meraman if he/she saw it, he/she said ed to be the only one who can see it. I woke up by the well-worn sound of sirens echoed down the street. Nothing looked the same, yet everything was just as I remembered.

"survival guide in mobility"
During his three week of residency, Albert GARCIA is going to develop the first stage of his lecture performance 'Untitled 2.0' and present it as workin-progress mixing live performance, lecture and a video work based on an action script to create fictional situations in the midst of true stories. This work attempts to create a hybrid form of performance from the idea of performing citizenship.
“Untitled 2.0 “ is a survival guide which aims to question society’s relationship to the collective, and the status of the individual. It also seeks to critically probe the standards at the base of the anthropization process and the design of our built environment and habitats. By rethinking how we envision the human habitat and with it, the forms of social relationships that spatial organization generates. A project to educate himself and others who face everyday threat, and prepare whatever that hold the future. Share the durable body under all circumstances of the current status quo.
Our entire precarious life is submitted to this one imperative: competition. All of our collective energies are enlisted to one goal: to maintain against all others in order to survive. By experimenting with the performance rules of survival, through interviews, action scripts, special body techniques, the code, constructing a scene beyond reality.
After the presentation, Emilie Choi, who is a moving image researcher and curator, will moderate the post-talk with Albert GARCIA to unfold the process of making the work as well as the context behind and its cultural implications.
