Room 5,89A

Cap ací

You arrive at a hotel and you’re told the directions a place which could be your room. On the way, you find yourself in a path lead by your own movement capacity and the architectural style surrounding you. Once there, the things there affect your way of moving. The etymology of direction is related to the concept “separation leading towards an action”. In all corners there are direction. Actually, very often you go from A to B to undertake an action. A path is, perhaps, an excuse. However, at the same time a path is the medium through which you will end up, or not, at B. What would happen if we could incorporate the directions that surround us? Directions understood as explicit effects on the path in which we find our body. There is a myriad of effects that address us endlessly and they lay out new challenges within the path and momentum in which we find ourselves. How do we understand the directions that we have to take? Are they our decisions of our making or the most perverse form of contamination and control? How can we recognize them?
