High Shine
In a two-fold event the morning was led by Catalina, who shared with the participants her psychic and sensorial body practice that seeks to communicate with the invisible. Working in pairs, somatic exercises – and selected text fragments that Tamara and Daisy took turns in reading – led us to become sensitive to the landscapes of our bodies – visceral, relational, ecological – all entangled. At the end, a nourishing sense of having made a sensory and emotional journey throughout lingered.
In the evening HIGH SHINE stood central in an intimate book-launch at San Seriffe. The petite publication is a collaborative project between Catalina’s work and Tamara’s exploration of the role of text in collaboration. The result is a fictional text that captures artistic practice indirectly, like a score that has to be read and performed to unlock it. Daisy did ‘dance’ with it – responding through her writings that draw attention to (all) life lived through climate change and its slow emergencies.
