Cuerpxs de tierra

Cuerpxs de tierra, a collective exhibition curated by Sandra Sánchez, is being presented at Casa Torre.

The strata were God's judgements, the general stratification was the complete system of God's judgement (but the earth, or the body without organs, never ceased to escape judgement, to flee and to destratify itself, to decode itself, to deterritorialise itself). Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari.

We are mountains that walk. Mounds of fertile earth that make life grow and crumble at the same time. Entities in relation and in continuous movement. Our walk is not carried out on horizon lines where the subjects dominate the territory making the multiplicity of strata a landscape. Rather, bodies among bodies of earth: devices that resist the organization of their flows for the purpose of accumulation, that rave to feverish their cavities and make burrows grow that connect with other bodies, at different scales: a tunnel makes you cross a sonorous slime of aeolian porosities, another incites you to be the animal that with its hands terrifies the order of the world, one more conjures healing points to ease curses, a ball with seeds comes out of the hole, a small return, the gallop makes the horse many and none, traces of humidity, erotic powers in bursts of color, gravity not as verticality, but as an invitation to weight, a vermin in contact with the other, its epidermis, the limit that blurs, tectonics of revelation by contiguity Dust as a hermeneutist of sonic and intensive messages that transmit vibrations and messages to collapse time, Affective returns. Vociferations from the past mutate when received from the present: the future is that place where everything has already happened and at the same time where everything can be different. Never the one, but the deficit: what cannot be fixed due to the exposure and relationship between materialities. Traces like spells that blur the roles that perpetuate the instrumentalization of life. Physical-chemical and imaginary productions that dynamite the architectures that support fascisms. Hidden messages, codes transmitted in the warp that supports the supposed clarity of the surface. Spaces are strata where grass grows, organizations that exceed the individual, the Earth as a body without organs, not a void where everything is missing, but a plasticity where capitalism has already been overthrown.
