Project at SACG
Going in circles talks about the form of what is collective, its dynamics, mutations, rhythms and tones. The project looks at the regimes of visibilization of this “being collective” or collectiveness, thus using its representations as a vehicle to apprehend the human and non human mediators that take part in a concrete phenomenon (KSPO track cycle racing). The project tries to reach the moment of formation and dissipation of a collective.
