"ONE SONG, ONE CITY" [IN.VISIBLE BODY] - concepts of time/space/ body = presence/absence and communication >> - TRAVEL // DUAL:: IDENTITY//LANGUAGE//PERCEPTION [space/time - place/object]

This project started to gain form in 2004 as live-acts in different cities around the world.
These Live-Acts are related with:
[1] non-present body (who's the live-act is dedicated);
[2] a song that is originally from another geography or interpreter / artist / band, sometimes in another language;
[3] a location related to non-present body (absent), personal or public space ;
[4] communication mediums : body , lyrics, song, city in a different perception / identity;
[5] space/time // travel /dual: analogies between numbers, dates, places, people, acts.

"One Song, One City" [IN.VISIBLE BODY] , a collective/individual memory of the past and present (distant / recent), re-ordered to the future in a format of Song + Place + Live act,
where the performer of the Live-act is not introduced / presented / produced. Most of the Live acts are spontaneous and not witnessed by a public, not in the conventional performance spaces and not considered as performance versus identity of: song + city.
Those Live acts are just documented on written and photographed format, ( word + image = principle forms of registering acts).
