Albert GARCIA——「移動中的生存指南」 “Survival Guide in Mobility”

《無題2.0》 階段性展演

記得我夢到了在香港市中心的一個陌生人旅館房間裡。 除了我自己，有一個戴紅帽的中年女性和一名在鏡頭後 面的男人，或者女人，我認為他們彼此是有關連的。 我 站在床前，床上放著綠色的筆記本，寫著一系列命令， 我一邊執行，一邊有相機在旁對著我。 那個女人問我是 怎麼來的，我說不知道，她又問，我無奈的說不知道。 我看到她肩膀後面有一個奇怪的影子，我問攝影師有沒 有看到，他/她說沒有，好像只有我能看到的一般。 街上 迴盪著陳舊的警笛聲把我吵醒了，一切看起來都不一 樣，但一切都和我記憶中的一樣。 "Untitled 2.0" Work-in-progress I remember dreaming of being at a stranger’s hotel room in the centre of Hong Kong. Besides myself, there is a woman, middle-aged, wearing a red bonnet hat, and a man behind a camera, maybe a woman I think they were related. I stood in front of the bed, a green notebook sits on it with a list of commands, I executed them while a camera points at me. The woman asked me how I got here, I said I don’t know, she asked again, I said I don’t know. I looked over her shoulder and saw a weird shadow. I asked the cameraman if he/she saw it, he/she said no, I appeared 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.

過程出發，解構《Untitled 2.0》中的文 化意涵。

《無題2.0》是藝術家Albert GARCIA一個 嘗試探問社會對於集體以及個人狀態的生 存指南。透過重新想像人類的聚居地去了 解空間的組織規劃是如何生產各類型社會 關係的形式，批判性地深究人類化過程以 及人工環境及棲息地設計的基礎。這也是 一個讓他以及其他人去學習如何應對日常 的威脅的計劃，為未來的未知狀況作準 備。以一個耐久的身軀去迎接在當下一切 所有可能的環境。

"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.

Albert GARCIA Biography Albert GARCIA’s physical practices started with physical theatre, and recently taking up hapkido. In between he has practiced different philosophies of the body, including Chinese dance, Tai Chi, martial arts, and acrobatics. Throughout these bodily experiences and meeting different choreographers' demands, Albert manages to ‘survive’ different circumstances of physical triggers.

Unlock Body Lab Overseas Artist-in-residence programme Unlock Dancing Plaza focuses on developing a diverse performing arts ecology, from questioning institutionalized dance aesthetic to reimagining the relationship of performing arts with the society and every day life. The “Overseas Artist-in-Residence Programme” invites artists of different cultural backgrounds to Hong Kong to share their ideas, creative strategies and interests, in order to create discourses, renew perspectives and provoke imaginations. During the residency, a variety of events, such as workshops, sharing, talks and work-in-progress presentation will be held to engage with the public, from the interaction with local communities, we hope to depict the potentialities of performing arts with relevance in the local scene.
