Objeto-territorio (Object-territory)

Objeto-territorio (Object-territory)
How do we perceive borders and what criteria do we use to create the maps that delineate them? Objeto-territorio will question established notions of borders by using sound as a means of redefining space. Sound is capable of transcending established notions of space because it is intangible. During a sound performance, the territory around La Capella will once again be mapped, taking into account not only exclusions and omissions, but also the lived experiences and local knowledge of those residing there. The performance will include objects to share acoustic memories and nostalgic sounds of territories left behind. These objects, to be obtained around La Capella, will be everyday objects, foreign instruments and various sentimental objects.
