Elena Bajo: A Growing Wave Breaks in the Shore of Time (Tomorrow  I was a Plant)

---> I PROPOSE A SCULPTURE CHOREOGRAPHED BY A PLANT MANIFESTO.

CONCEPT: I want to consider that an artistic approach might substitute the written word for an  alternative semiotics of bodily gesture in motion within the evolving pragmatics inside the contingencies of the Anthropocene. 
I would like to use the time and space provided by the BIENALSUR to work in a new research project, text research as a score  for choreographing a sculpture. A Growing Wave Breaks in the Shore of Time (Tomorrow I was a Plant), explores Plant Systems as narrators of their own ecologies: Guattari’s Three  Ecologies, Eco-Anarchism, and inclusive, non-binary Feminist practices). Nature as a generator and witness of its own situation in a moment of planetary urgency. Nature as a maker of an Anarchive of score-images, a lexicon of terms, scripts, and choreographies. 
FORM: I propose a series of performative sculptures choreographed by a Plant Manifesto text, given to participants functioning as a score to be interpreted. The starting point is a series of mythological stories and real traces depicted in archeological artifacts of local medicinal plants, that will be "channeled" by participants and used in speculative ways, as a structure to build up a new text/score, generating a new abstract or poetic alternative narrative. The form is both an installation of sculptures activated by a performance.
