HABITAR_ ABOUT

Habitār is a result of the virtual residence that Maria P. Vila does in AL Galeria during the months of April, May, and June 2020 in the middle of a world pandemic and under self-isolation in her apartment.

In this work, Maria gathers memories, experiences, and feelings of people she knows in form of audio messages and editing them together building a collective narrative, that is given to the audience in a series of audio capsules focusing on differents themes like time, motherhood, sexuality, among others.

Vila works around the concept inhabit and how fluid it can be, in a sense that people are responsible to give meaning to this concept as much as the space they're inhabiting, being that space a country, a house, a room, a bed or a body. Personal experiences will be constantly changing how we're inhabiting a place and how that place is perceived after we have been there, forming a symbiotic relationship between the self and the space that is inhabited.

Habitār is a work that is alive, is a process, an ongoing project, audiences are invited and encouraged to be part of it. It's Maria one more intent to explore the collective unconscious, this time in an audio form.
