Displacement Project,
Berlin 2010 by Piso Collective
Within the scope of what has been called the ‘’creative class’’, it has been developed an ongoing need for mobility, either by weak labour conditions that force someone to move in order to search for subsistence; or due to the desire of accessing ‘’ways of doing’’, different from the departure point.
Beyond judging this need as a positive or a negative influence, we have initiated a process of research on how the notion of Displacement affects processes of cultural production.
One of the main reasons why we took this concept lies in its breadth _ in its polysemic capacity and in the multiplicity of its narrative pathways, not necessarily linear. Thanks to this, we can analyze cause and effect, reference and referent from a creative reading attitude.
Displacement is a generative process, through which Piso Collective articulates a dynamic series of work that reflect on interrelated concepts with the idea of:
cultural production, space, place, nation, border, territory, travel, symbol,
history, context, de-contextualization, identity, network, self-organization,
strength/resistance, empathy, otherness, anachronism, mirror neurons, sequence,
dyslexia, shift, memory, eco ...
