Abstract

This project revolves around the territoriality obtained through the persistent marking of a space by populating, invading, and inhabiting it with foreign elements. The project unfolds in three stages. First, a mapping is done as an abstraction of the place. Second, the place is accessed. And third, the relationships that arise with the elements inhabiting the place are observed. The proposed work is interested in the relationships that emerge by provoking a territorialization and deterritorialization of the territory. Every space is subject to change but tends toward singularity in terms of function. This is because when we inhabit a territory, we systematize it through its function, imbuing it with significant meaning. Whether or not a space is always used in the same way does not distract it from its original function. For example, a street is a territory with a specific function: to move automobiles. However, it can be blocked and used as a passage for a crowd, but its function remains that of mobilization. It has an identity, but it is not singular. Now, the exercise proposed is not to highlight the non-singularity of a space, but to investigate how the construction of a territory stems from a creative act composed of rhythm and melody, elements that are persistent through repetition, since repetition is what produces rhythm insofar as it is periodic. For such a rhythm to exist, communication must be provoked between at least two communicating mediums in order to subsequently agence a territory in Deleuze and Guattari's terms. The rhythms that are evident in a territory when it is invaded, populated, conquered, and finally inhabited are the object of this project in terms of relationships, so that such an experience can be revealed as a plastic territory.
