Occupying Space in 3 WorksA flag moves from Latin America to Europe.
A programme disseminates the spaces materialised in video.
A manifesto to be appropriated individually or collectively.
01 / We Want to Realise our Desires
The flag is a symbol for the occupation of territory.
This flag is the embodied territory of our desires.
Our flag is red – with its legs spread open.
The red evokes different reactions.
The red cannot be ignored.
The flag is a collective compilation of the everyday spectacle, between the absurd industrialism and the fantastic realism of the tropics.
It is a love story woven by many hands, machines and contradictions.
02 / Programme
This video shows dozens of places in São Paulo where various editions of independent electronic parties have been taking place since 2013. Shut-down factories used as car parks, deteriorated buildings, abandoned houses, fenced-in public spaces, walled-off parks… hundreds of faces of a single command: real-estate speculation in the largest city in South America.
The images of these empty spaces prompt words from the audience and actors in the scene.
There have been so many attempts – by us and by others – to capture in images what these independent parties mean. Absence becomes the engine that invents the past-present-future.
03 / Manifest Booty
A printed mural with the graphic design of MAMBA NEGRA's manifesto Poétyko.
