Presíncope. Síntomas de cuerpos en deterioro

Abstract

Through the project Presyncope: Syntoms of decaying bodies I'm looking to analyze from my personal perspective, the situation of accessibility in the main building of the Faculty in which I study, the Palacio de La Merced, seeing the accessibility, not only from an archetectonic point of view, but also, from the existing (or not) protocols of the university's administration and from the treatment of students, teachers and others that form the university's body, to people with disabilities and chronic illnesses. By using visual languages, such as performance and video, I explore the faculty building as another sick body, so I plan to examine and to diagnose it, with the purpose of showing the failings that it has and how they affect me and other people that go there. The use of the performance in this project is to show the relations that exist between non normative bodies and time and space, using as a case of study, the situation that happens inside the Faculty.
