Unhere (2020-)


Unhere introduces deep, but mostly subtle, deviations into the implicit social spaces, into the behaviors and conventions that forms them. In Unhere, performers activate states and affects corresponding to other realities than the situations in which they are (of visitors, clients, tourists, spectators…). Altering or cutting implicit adaptations, deviating from basic adjustments, from their implicit existence in the world, they seem out of touch with reality, out of place, unhere. Because at some level we emulate the bodies that we encounter Unhere can be contagious, affecting the social atmosphere, the space and its possibilities. In general we conform to environments, we want to be adjusted to here and now, to behave adequately, even in art, and usually that's fine. But sometimes is good to undo the automated submissions, to open up or transcend situations, to go Unhere. Artworks are usually visual, sound or conceptual, Unhere is affect based.

In some venues Unhere can appear uninvited at some venues – Unofficial Unworks.
