no land[e]scape; hopes and dreams of a new shelter. This project aims to be an "impossible" mix between a post-apocalyptic scenario, full of fantasy and humour, and a place for hope. We will approach the tragedy of uprooting, which today's society has led us to, and where loneliness, helplessness and emptiness appear as the main signs and aspects of identity.
Raquel Gualtero, Louise Michel Jackson and Michal Záhora, in collaboration with Amaranta Velarde, will investigate, imagine and share what can grow on the site of loss: no land[e]scape.

"Today, as soon as very early childhood is over, the house can never be home again, as it was in other ages. This century, for all its wealth and with all its communication systems, is the century of banishment."
(BERGER, JOHN: AND OUR FACES, MY HEART, BRIEF AS PHOTOS; 1999)
"I would like there to exist places that are stable, unmoving, intangible untouched and almost untouchable, unchanging deep rooted; places that might be points of reference, of departure, of origin;"
(PEREC, GEORGES: SPECIES OF SPACES, 1974)
