Tracing us is a series of reflections through drawing, found image and text, visualising and documenting the complexity of collective processes, interpersonal relationships and social structures. Departing in one hand from self-organised structures where I’m involved or have access to, I overlay them with Yona Friedman’s diagrammatic researches (and concepts as the Critical Group) and Ambroise Paré’s 16th century medicinal illustrations, among other references.
The research installation is presenting: The Self, Dyadic Relations, Groups, Masses, Societies and Abstractions (Structures and Processes). Concepts such as “collective identity”, “interdependence” and ”mirroring” from social psychology are crossing these explorations. The way I represent relations in drawing is oriented to the space in between people. Fluids and lines coming out of bodies, linking chests and heads together, materialise invisible and yet physical connections. In collective cases where interpersonal interaction is highly intense and the space between individuals becomes more dense, a collective organism assumes in these drawings the shape of a composite body, a hybrid human-animal-object-space.
