I revolt, therefore we exist.

Albert Camus

 

The performative installation NoPolis aims to give voice to the bodies of protest, bodies that deny the closed concept of "nation-state" and for this reason criminalized. NoPolis focuses on sounds, movements and gestures embodied in the bodies of revolt. NoPolis is a visual and acoustic space in which the polis, classically defined as the sphere of politics, loses its essence. An assumption of deconstructed forms and disconnected tensions in search of the essence of protest, an act of elevation to confront power from the highest possible point.
