A performance by Marcos Simoes & Pauline Brun
Misunderstanding is a way to reveal and to create other realities: to hear and imagine something other; to interpret differently; to juxtapose perceptions; to resist to what is given or said; to build up parallel temporalities. It is the stakes of poetry, of counterpoint, of resistance, of uncertainty, of alternatives and of fictions.
We think of misunderstandings in this project as something to be considered, something valuable.
We see it both as a visual & choreographic tool more then a subject of work.
What if the misunderstanding is the origin, the starting point of the project? The mechanism by which we produce and create? And that defines situations and relationships to work with?
These approach are means to create situations where we don't understand things correctly, or understand it differently, or not at all. By embracing these lacks and situations as games, it will question everything and all the time.
The playground here become a strategy to bring up differences, alterities, pluralities, radicalities, subversive logics, that maybe are absurd but relevant situations.The Misunderstanding as a significant tool.
How will our collaboration, both performative and plastic, be at stake in assembling hazardous and voluntary differences?
How to question the very meaning of a collaboration?
How can we give up our identities to get lost in those of Things?
How to be present, in the present, to be not, to be an undefined territory, to be undefined?
We, Marcos Simoes & Pauline Brun were joined in this project by a fortunate misunderstanding and we have decided to embrace it by turning it into the tool and the purpose that ties us in this collaboration.
The project Tie-Tool starts from these questions and will be developed into the form of a performance exhibition or an exhibited performance.
Tie-Tool will be made of detached pieces that can be separated each other and become performative objects by themselves.
Tie-Tool can be extended by adding new extensions to the original piece.
Tie-Tool can eventually also be re-organized.
These extensions and detached versions are ways to rethink formats of presentation and interpretation in relation to different contexts. Tie-Tool can change form, place and time.
