Research on ‘fluid’ movements of a body in space through the following concepts: volume and movement of a body in space as sections along a path that best represents and synthesizes its presence, its progression or posture; volume and velocity where shapes, through a principle of deconstruction, from solid become ‘fluid’ and the space that surrounds the object compresses and expands, shifts and deforms under the effect of its mass; time as ‘simultaneity’, ‘duration’ transformed into ‘flow’; volume and performance as a ‘performative act’ which generates a dynamic volume that will remain as a residual body, a testimony, documentation and residue of itself.
