The concept of “CAPTURE & discard” derives from a hypothesis of how it will be like (or what will happen) if someone discards from his/her life, from his/her everyday living anything that s/he does no longer really need. And by anything we mean products, scenarios, memories, objects, services, strategies, desires, knowledge, fears, moral principles and so on.

It examines the pivotal need that someone may feel to get rid off everything s/he meticulously or foolishly accumulates in an increasing number or quantity, as an unconscious response to protect oneself from his/her own imaginary dangers, or to offer him/her the award of comfort that a highly demanding society does not spare or care to acknowledge him/her with. All of that comes from a motif, which had always struck us: a human figure in a small room, fomenting something.

“CAPTURE & DISCARD” presents 5 individuals frozen in an awkward moment of self-awareness; stand in a chillingly empty minimalist scene. Then, their decision appears as a targeted expressive and revolutionary creative act constantly crossing the boundary between chaos and equilibrium. With such a reverse of attitude they are ready to engage themselves with a new, possible, potential. But what do these notions really mean regarding individuals and society they belong to? Freeing yourself from the indulgence of retaining things, appears in its broadest sense as a profoundly disruptive force, constituted in multiform entanglement of practices, discourses, industry agendas, lifestyles and behaviours; thus optimally positioned to offer a stringent critique of how the emergence of complex relationships between human and society tells stories and ultimately makes us think of our position towards our life.
