In a context of a crisis of all that is common to us, in which collective physical and poetic experiences are increasingly rare, Ivana Müller invites us to rediscover the taste for doing things together. The aim of this piece is to build a place of care, attention to others and relationships.
mirages et tendresses invites a group of spectators to experience a collective practice, namely the construction and imaginary world of a shared space in which solidarity becomes a clearly-defined action, where each person acts, supports, adjusts, contributes, and effects a transformation. Equipped with balls of wool and wooden battens, artists and participants give shape, in an empirical way, to a structure that is woven, negotiated, and little by little comes into existence, thanks to the gestures, choices and collective momentum of each participant. Inspired by the concept of tensegrity, the principle of tension in which each element depends on the others, architecture becomes a sense-led field of experimentation in which gestures of mutual aid, listening and attention are at work. Everyone is free to participate, move away, observe or dream. Like a living rhizome in which bodies, voices and imaginations intertwine, the piece results in the construction of a ‘common’. An ephemeral refuge, a utopia on a human scale, guided by the impetus to hold on, together.
