In the introduction to this thesis, I articulate my own position and analyze my current artistic practice that crystallizes in the field of interpersonal. I am particularly interested in establishing a community, even if it is temporary. The predominant form of my activity are performative practices based on temporality that is considered real-time and durational. It is the subjective experience that influences the people most deeply, and I dedicate myself to this.
I want to courageously probe the boundaries of the possible, trust the process and myself, improvise and inspire. Acting in the social field can be very challenging, as we must never anticipate what is good for others. It is necessary to establish effective communication and open exchange between the participants, and to empower each other.
At the core of my thesis, I explain, analyze and theoretically explore five selected works which best summarize aspects of my practice, reveal my position and enable the construction of conceptual foundations. I view my works as experiments in everyday life, as propositions for reality. Practice and theory are not separate, but rather mutually reinforcing. I use the methods of critical reflection, experiment, improvisation, composing, mind mapping, dialogical (discursive) method, (meta)analysis of discourses and processes, pre-emptive simulation of experience, and the method of writing before, during the course of performative events and posteriorly.
In the last part, I summarize the findings, the temporary conceptual conclusions and attempt to find some directions for my future practice. Process, experiment and experience are essential.
