The forest_ performs transitional contexts within which language means from the encounter with those who pass through them. It thus creates a performative system out of what words “are not yet” but can become in the near future, making explicit the concrete and transformative possibility of “entering the world.” The research is developing a performance, a publication and an installation which are sets of worlds in the world, simple technologies of complexity.

Lucia Palladino is an independent transdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Brussels. Her work focuses on the encounter with the other and on how this encounter questions identities and properties.
