If the "big YES" consists of an absolute affirmation and an unconditional commitment to a shared practice, it also brings about the construction of a limitless space of unlimited possibilities.
Today's trajectories, however, already suggest the existence of limits. Of the public, the space, our bodily presence and our ability to intervene said spaces. Today, we cruised the city in order to observe specific spaces. As individuals. In a group. Conscious of the ways in which our own presence as observers already change the space we want to apprehend (even if only to affect it--is this just a way of consumption?) The "big YES" found then new limits: our emotional discomfort brought about by our surroundings. The exhaustion of our bodies. The harshness of the weather. In between, a series of misunderstandings brought about by the lack of familiarity of the space. By the differences between our points of view. By the difficulty to read foreign codes. Is there even a way to "enter"?
I wonder if misunderstanding is a precondition for any intervention in any space.
