Lo infraordinario

Abstract

In the observation of my surroundings and in the fixation for the infraordinary - a concept taken from the literature of Georges Perec referring to everything considered common, trivial and everyday that apparently does not generate transcendental changes in the world -, I wonder if in a hierarchically organized society with a classist vision, -which prevails that which produces profits and rejects the useless- in the end, everything has the same degree of importance for the vastness of the universe; a rock as much as a human being, a room as much as a country, a street dweller as much as a president. Thus, this project, born from my affective subjectivity, plans to talk about concrete dissertations about a moment, a place, a person and an object, which exemplify from my own life that everything is infraordinary in an interconnected network of things and that, taken to a more general scale, serves as a provocation for all of us to ask ourselves about the importance of our life in relation to other entities that orbit the world, about the relationships we establish with our environment, about the everyday in which we are reflected and about the feeling of being tiny and finite on earth.
