Participatory action with audio-guide that delves into existential problems and proposes a form of treatment based on physical and mental exercise as a way of dealing with them.
You have to change your life! are the last words of the sonnet entitled Archaic Torso of Apollo, which the Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke wrote in 1907, when he felt compelled to read the signs that this sculpture was sending him. It is the title of a book that the German philosopher Peter Sloterdijk wrote in 2009, which speaks of life as "training". It is a new method of initiation to calisthenics (a training discipline based on one's own bodyweight). It is an experiment in movement and its constraints. It is a confluence of voices. It is a self-help programme. It is a call for revolution.
The material used (elastic bands and adapters) and the T-shirts will be reusable. The signage will be made of non-plastic materials.
Servand Solanilla (Olot, 1970) is a teacher of visual and plastic arts at secondary school and a visual artist. As far as his artistic practice in recent years is concerned, collective actions involving symbolic interaction, objects as mediators of social processes and gestures and the voice as disruptive elements are the focus of his interest. Examples include Taules auxiliars (2013), Exercicis des del costat dret (2014), Cara a cara (2016) and Exercicis de ventrilòquia (2018). Some of his most recent proposals have been presented at the MOT INS (creation workshops at the literature festival), at the Lluèrnia festival (Una dotzena de flors, 2019), at the LAP of the Teatre Principal in Olot (150 qüestions de fons i un glop d’aigua, 2021) and at the Binari Picnic (Una dotzena de flors II, 2021).
