We Have Stopped Communicating with the World Long Ago, 2021
We Have Stopped Communicating with the World Long Ago, is the second part of the research performance-educational project The Transversal Navigation (TTN).
Hands and other limbs are considered as parts of the body. Why then couldn’t all beings who possess a body be considered as parts of a single being? There is no such thing as a disabled body, only disabled sociopolitical systems.
From the perspective of the other, being slow needn’t be considered a weakness, and the weak/weaker needn’t be slow/slower – they merely achieve a different speed than the speed of the medium which they inhabit at a given time. Sickness does not go away, and that is why it needs constant care. To accept one’s vulnerability and fragility in order to reorganize – reprogram relationships, not only towards oneself, but also within a broader social context.
Are our bodies this dangerous biological factor? Is the body itself at the core of this cri- sis? Do we only start paying attention to bodies once they become sick? Are there more types of invisibility? What does it mean to stand next to or near an invisible one? Try to imagine.
