Session by Hamaca for the Santa Mònica Video Tuesdays.
Screening of 1 ola Majestic en mi balconee by tacoderaya, with an intervention by Marta Echaves
1 ola Majestic en mi balconee by tacoderaya is a work that speculates on the resistance of late-capitalist forms of leisure in the context of climatic disasters. The landscapes of the Mediterranean property bubble, blending with the sand and water that blurs its urbanism, serve as a stage from which to reflect on the deficiencies that contemporary neoliberal subjectivation processes manifest when critical situations arise at the level of the collective. In the video, ‘orality’ is broken down into a digital and fragmentary use of the spoken, constructing sensation but never message. tacoderaya are Jonás de Murias and Paula Pérez-Roda as a collective of voice and sound selection, oral and rhythmic remixing and the generation of verbo-sensorial experiences. It works in the interstices of performance, verbal arts and sound art through different participant research techniques.
The video will be accompanied by an intervention by Marta Echaves, who will address questions about the medicalisation of life, the consumption of stimulant substances and market innovations in the supply of well-being, as well as the need to recover a notion of the word life that escapes the capitalist strategies of co-opting the most mundane and emancipated happiness.
