Site Specific For Nowhere

Dinis Machado revisits a series of practices from their previous works where they explore materialist ideas of citizenship. Machado explores a spiral structuralist revisitation of walking and standing activities where stepping is multiplied and unfolded into a densified activity, some kind of hiper active restatement of being here, belonging here, as a material event more then a conceptual truth. A gesture that becomes an activity. From stepping into an anarchist dance that unfolds a blurry uncanny identity. This quite pedestrian activity developed into a dance or a ritual where movement dwells and maps sets of relations with a space where the performance is happening. A site specific for nowhere. A performance that can happen in any space not because it ignores it but because it lives of its encounter with it. The performance exists of an early history with this space that is drawn through the performance in a continuous process of dwelling. A paradoxical gesture of autonomy and inscription. A movement that exists within the body while grounding in its context. Claiming to be here stops being a rhetorical argument to become an irrefutable evidence.
