\n\n“A line of thought, a line of action, a line” is a series of site specific and experimental performances, departing from a basic visual line to later evolve into more intricate constructions and formations that include the use of objects and spaces within the location or space. As a site specific/experimental piece, the intervention through daily performances, pretends to embrace the history of the space receiving the body as a plane of consistency and its surroundings as external points of connection. By establishing these two sites, the human made structures (in location) and the natural urban sites around it, the first line of thought is created: how to incorporate the idea of livably–human-made spaces and natural environments through motion? How do opposite points of a possible line described by body through motion can actually coexist and feed each other? And finally, how do all of these lines, address the body as the ultimate connector and at the same time as the most accurate form of every concept and or idea?

\nWhen Joseph Beuys said: “we should develop the capacity to ‘see’ ideas”, he Clearly tied the concept of drawing to this possibility. Drawing as an action closely related to the body and not only as an extension of the brain into the world. Drawing then, should be contemplated as an action that enables two different points to be connected, two different realities to co-exist; the trace, which is the line, would be then, the form of non visible qualities, containing all possibilities of dialog, meaning and understanding between the body and any space that we inhabit.
