CROSS CROSS CROSS, de Joana Capella Buendendia

Is there a clear relationship between fitness and agricultural holdings? This project reflects on the contemporary paradigm of performance in human and non-human bodies, through discipline, transformation and control. Cross can be translated as to traverse, to furrow, or to run across the field, and here it functions as a hinge between the imagery of the gym and the agricultural, through artistic production and popular memory rooted in working the land. The project questions the normativity of discourses on hyperproduction in order to open spaces of resistance, with other possible bodies and other agrifood memories that make life possible.
