Cholets are a privileged testing ground for these qualities: how can folkloric masks and costumes trigger an effective architectural cycle where inhabitation and aesthetic languages become mutually exclusive?\nWhat is unique at a time where superficial otherness seems to have become the standard, where vernacular spontaneity has been replaced by overconstructed only polished photoshop images? El Alto gives us the opportunity to conceive architecture as a performative act - enabling the mutual immanence between bodies and spaces, objects, and ceremonies. For us, performing fulfills necessities that have little to do with practical efficiency or quantitative variables. Rather, it is an evocative tool to activate symbolic links, to claim back identitarian needs, and to depict qualitative hedonistic traits into physical spatial compounds. \n\nThe video performance is constructed as a multi-layered happening that brings popular myths into dialogue with the urban fabric, understanding how architecture affects Bolivia's delicate political context. This short film is the result of 3 years of research. From the screenplay to props, to the narrative of the fiction, everything is the product of students, professionals, and collaborators in these years.","space":"A performative and inhabitable telescope, with a square base 3x3 it stands so that it can become a pedestal with at its end a circular window from where the performance will be projected. People could collectively stand on any side of this object, as if it were a lighthouse, attracting people to come closer to enjoy the details. The pavilion is a window that offers another point of view to the reality of El Alto: an iconographical and symbolic contemporary ritual is there to happen.","artists_proposal":null,"members":[],"lang":"en","status":"ok","video_link_password":null,"video_link":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=TUoRJHGqPR0&t=1s","audio_link_password":null,"audio_link":null,"images_link_password":null,"images_link":"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/open?id=1MFXHVhiFII4CMGKnIZ83PUBw2tYkgBpn","cellphone":null,"description":null,"estimated_budget":null,"complementary_info":null,"fileCount":5,"names":"Sabrina","surname":"Morreale","email":"elalto@aaschool.ac.uk","dni_type":"PASAPORTE","dni":"YA8089122","address":"18B-18C Ferntower Road","city":"London","nacionality":"English","country_id":"81","birthdate":"1990-09-15T22:00:00.000Z","birthdate_2":"1990-09-15T22:00:00.000Z","telephone":"00447568328780","web":"http:\/\/elalto.aaschool.ac.uk\/"}
