Del cuerpo acuoso a la corporalización líquida

Abstract

The impetus behind this research stems from the need to transform how the body engages with water. I seek to understand how the effects understood as the sensitive and physical registration of environmental impacts on my body allow me to open myself to a liquid embodiment. This transition is facilitated through methodological devices referred to in this work as Liquid Guidelines, which are a set of instructions and somatic dispositions designed to guide the sensory experience. These guidelines are explained theoretically in Chapter Two and described in their practical and performative unfolding throughout Chapter Three. I will move away from the intention of representing the territory from an external perspective, seeking instead a micro-scale view as a perceptual and bodily displacement. This will allow me to shift my attentional regime, enabling the body to attune to minimal variations of sound, rhythm, vibration, and movement, which are normally missed in everyday perception due to commitments and obligations that keep me at a frantic pace, trying to fulfill countless tasks in my daily life
