Artefact Poster-Synthesis of the Series of Videoperformances released by AND Lab in 2020.
Ten performative actions and the proposition to traverse together the worldwide critical moment of uncertainty and suspension instaurated by the covid-19 pandemic, activating the sense-thinking of the living-together modes proposed by MO_AND's ethics of repair and reparation." (An)c(h)ourage, co(m)passionment, consistency, comparence, firmness, frankness, sufficiency, justness, dis-illusion, de-scission are the concept-tools translated into gesture, articulating the saying and the moving, in an encounter between bodies and words.
"Ten Positions in Face of the Irreparable" is an online series of performances-to-the-camera that combines the languages of live performance and video, conceived by Fernanda Eugenio in collaboration with members of the AND Collective Pat Bergantin, Mariana Pimentel, Milene Duenha, and Guto Macedo, based on the words that make up Fernanda Eugenio's Ten Positions in Face of the Irreparable.
The episodes of the video performance series are dedicated to the embodied reading of one of the ten words-positions, and can be watched separately or as a whole game-path, ranging from the first to the tenth word, in a journey of body constitution to "repair (in) the Irreparable".
The series was awarded the Art as Breath 2020 prize, from Itaú Cultural, and premiered in July of the same year, as part of the Unruly Studies of the pilot edition of the School of Reparar, opening a collective space for the unfolding of the experience and critical reflection around the (ir)reparability of the world as we know it - a problematic that has guided the work of MO_AND, and has revealed increasingly in the pandemic context.
