Biography
Azucena Momo is a multidisciplinary artist interested in body practices, relational geographies, ecology and community. In 2019, she founded her company Irregulars, through which she has developed contemporary dance projects in public spaces and walking performances. The blending of disciplines extends to her work in sound, podcasting, and documentary forms.
Azucena has a Master of Art in Public Space at the FAI-AR school in Marseille, which reflects her ongoing interest in public and common spaces. Since 2021, her work embraces a sober narrative that prioritizes the voice of non-hegemonic cultures, non-institutionalized knowledge. Her artistic practice increasingly engages with a rural landscape and the relationship in between bodies, inviting a deeper reflection on how we coexist within the environment. This approach allows her to localize and deepen her artistic practice, fostering connections between people and places.
Artistic project
The proposal invites participants to embark on a solo journey along a path, offering an expanded moment in time that nurtures an intimate encounter between the individual and everything that inhabits this land. Guided only by a soundscape that weaves together reality and fiction, the path unfolds, tuning the senses, sharpening intuition, and attuning the body to the surrounding environment. As the journey continues, other bodies appear, walking through the landscape, and recognition arises—an unspoken bond forms, and the individuals come together as a group. In this moment, dance emerges, activating the choreographied shape of the landscape, sparking a renewed impulse to walk together towards the path’s end.
This site-specific work revives the memory of a forgotten or rarely traversed trail, breathing life into a landscape and activating it through the presence of our bodies. Through the interplay of dance and soundscaping, a dramaturgy takes shape, one that privileges the collective experience of the territory.
