MAIS IMAGINARIUS

The wall ceases to be a limit and becomes a field of action. A vertical plane, marked by the memory of labour and discipline, is reoccupied by three presences who suspend themselves, climb and resist. Architecture does not function as a backdrop, it imposes rules, weight and history, and it is within this confrontation that the action is built.

Between tension and balance, gestures displace narratives inscribed in the space. Repetitive movements evoke labour, restraint and continuous effort, while other actions open fissures, pauses and possibilities of release. Verticality intensifies risk and exposure, making visible the fragility and strength that coexist when female figures inscribe themselves within a territory historically shaped by logics of power and control.

Tri-Fábrica transforms urban architecture into a site of sensitive friction. Vertical dance reconfigures the relationship between presence, space and memory, proposing a gesture of persistent occupation in which effort is not only physical, it is political. A work that suspends time and returns to common space unstable and open readings.
