Juice of Drawing

Juice of Drawing is an experimental investigation in the embodiment of architectural drawing and its ways to be a site of co-resonation of secondary wit(h)nesses through a series of performative engagements.

Evading representational configurations, the project unfolds this act of wit[h]nessing through the embodied transfigurative potentials of drawing, by inventing recitational methods explored through the entangling fluid materialities that allow encounters with the other. It problematizes the disembodied projection of an architectural drawing into other formations and questions and plays with projection as “the language translator’s dream” (Evans, 1997, p.181), through the resistance of the bodies that are involved: the oozing bodies of drawing, of the drawers, of the textual subjects, of the viewers, of tales and sited conditions.

The exhibition consists of a series of recitational drawing acts engaging with a digitally archived old miniature drawing that depicts an old tale of a scene with no witnesses, transfigured into a set of points for projective purposes. These recitational methods unfolding fiction intend to unfix the singular ‘I’ of drawing into a coexistence of polyphonic voices and trigger a material imagination that is not based on referential archival documentation, and set mythical temporal states emerging from the co-existence of the past and the present.
