Performative installation created from a participatory process consisting of thirty conversations with people from different backgrounds asking ourselves: Is home an inner state? How do I access it? What is it like?

The participatory process is kept alive until the end of the exhibition. The piece is also activated with open calls for the activity "Stays". This is a playful and creative work session in which we enter into this cartography to locate and materialise each participant's own room with a 3D pen. The participants' contributions are displayed on a "living wall" located at the exit of the installation.

Authors: Asunción + Guasch

ASUNCIÓN + GUASCH are Josep Asunción (Barcelona, 1963) and Gemma Guasch (Barcelona, 1966). They work in tandem, exploring the limits and potential of creative duality. The corpus of their work is broad and complex, encompassing multiple visual and performative creations: painting - which they consider their mother tongue, and with which they maintain a continuous practice, individually and jointly - photography, video, objects, installation, performance, poetry... Many of their works are performative and involve the participatory response of others; especially in public art projects, which incorporate other agents in collaborative artistic practices.

They work in a processual way. Their work is to be understood as an organic body, a composite of units and relationships that emerges along the way, from everyday life, biographical experiences and their affectation. Her method is based on active listening. By focusing, or using emptying strategies, they make a new work emerge in the form of an oracle, capable of generating experience. The collective aspect is an important part of their creative process; it is understood as an agora, a common space where they promote the transformative capacity of creativity in the individual in the social body. It is in this collective environment that his public art projects and participatory performances are understood, as well as his long teaching experience and his publications.
