State of Encounter

State of Encounter

Estado de Encuentro focuses on the inner noise of silence, without haste. How to stop stimulating the temptation for «doing» and rather share the «BEING»?

Our approach is a practice that responds to the maelstrom of everyday life and seeks to problematize our drives through an ephemeral relationship/composition. Maybe a neuro/diverse necessity for configuring time/space.

Having practices that cannot measure results: Does it make them impervious to condescension during practice? Can it lead to intoxicate this practice? Does State of Encounter only exist in the practice itself?

When we react to our physical action phrases, an event might be the emergence of a rule that can be accepted or rejected, through patterns from and on the material.

Strategy of “doing”

State of Encounter is a sort of devices for recognizing and challenging the bodies, affections and our daily configurations, granting them the value of «elements» for a contributory practice.

It is a processual practice of looking, restraining, externalizing, listening and (de)composing through small phrases (not spoken but phrases taken as psychophysical and pre-expressive correlation modes). It focuses basically on criticizing and interlinking the potential of the operations and the apparatus from the body with certain oscillations of the material on space and time.

Perhaps is also a simple and restless resistance against the homogeneity of our socio-cultural remnants.

This method, activated by «phrases» towards a collaborative process of creation, poses a way of capturing a form of thought-action where individuals trans-individuate (Simondon). This makes it possible to release or unleash “thinking” through circuits of “doing”.
