E.B.2.3 Naus
To look at something is to open up the possibility of seeing that thing and all the other things it has in itself as potency. When I ask what exists in this, I am referring to the properties of the thing, to what it has and not to what it is. I see the thing or the situation at the same time that I can see everything it could be, in an exercise of extrapolation of meaning. The possibility of imagining is in itself the becoming of seeing, of making visible, of revealing.
We will take fragments of worlds to displace them in time and re-signify them, making them explode in different directions and senses. We will fictionalize the present from listening to the place where we are, to the things that surround us, to the relationships between things and situations, to ourselves and our relationships with others. We will also create actions, situations, gestures, speeches, to be seen by the group and which may feed fictions.
In this exercise of seeing, translating what there is into other possible images, we will collectively create fictional narratives . The result will be a self-published book written by many hands.
