Texts by Michel Foucault, Susan Sontag, Judith Butler i Achille Mbembe.

Rapear Filosofía investigates the internal rhythms of essays and how they affect the meanings those texts convey; it proposes deconstructing the traditional ways of reading through the cadence provided by a rapped interpretation of the words. In an experimental concert performance, four essays are fragmented, appropriated, reconstructed and presented by three MC. The texts discuss how institutional power uses violence to control behavior.

The project stretches from the 70s to the present: it begins with the concept of biopolitics (Michel Foucault), continues onto the importance of photography in recording the consequences of war (Susan Sontag) and the need to grasp suffering and violence through images (Judith Butler), finally touching on the concept of necropolitics (Achille Mbembe), taking up Foucault’s legacy, which addresses the current government systems that use devastation and murder as political tools.

Cabello/Carceller have been working since the 90s, combining artistic projects with research, writing and curating. In 2015 they participated in Los sujetos [Subjects], the Spanish Pavilion at the Venice Biennale, and are currently showing Borrador para una exposición sin título [Draft for an untitled exhibition], at MARCO in Vigo, and Lost in Transition, at IVAM in Valencia, as well as preparing a solo exhibition at CA2M, Madrid. Their work has been shown in Paris, New York, Buenos Aires, Mexico and Bucharest.
