Longing for less

Since the rise of industrialisation and capitalism, a constant desire for everything we don’t have (yet). Llopis Segarra dissects humans and our society, and exposes our inherent desires.

Máquinas is a dance performance that explores what a “desiring machine”, as French philosophers Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari called it, could be. They see the unconscious as a factory and the body as an assembly of machines producing desire. Machines are halfway between what cannot happen and what never stops happening. It is a process that continues endlessly. Or to put it in the words of Deleuze: ‘There is no such thing as man or nature, everything is a machine.’

Llopis Segarra is showing his work in Belgium for the first time. Take advantage of this unique opportunity to get to know this Spanish artist.
