2022-2023 ~ Factory 2.0: Tying knots: Imaginary Bonds

Tying-Knots,-Imaginery-Bonds. Gif credits: Kıvanç Sert.

Tying knots is research sessions seeking new forms and connections for our bodies with the outside surroundings. How do we form or exist in space and how we can modify it? Here we are using ROPE as a connection material where ties are used to attach different objects and our bodies. How and Why do we tie things? 

By Tying knots, we will look through relationships between object-object and human-object or human-human. Each node thrown introduces a new boundary and limit. Some call it fantasies, some see it as a design decision, maybe research, or just a pleasure.

here we are again, there are my imaginary ropes                                        with me.

no more borders, just close your eyes

                                                                                        objects create real boundaries

this is a chair, as an ideological object that shaped us.

                                      who controls us? there are no ropes

When: 20:30 – 22:30

Location: De Lommerd

*Do expect, some games&ropes a bit talks about pleasure & desire, erotism & pornography, body and politics, and anti-design and rope.

**Don’t expect BDSM(still erotic, as life is erotic), no perfect rope & tie technics (If you know some, you can share it)

***Bring some ropes (jute or cotton is preferable) with you, and receive some surprises. (there will be some ropes, more ropes mean more fun)
