Durational light social sculpture enacting relational sovereignty through minimal gesture, chromatic precision, and metabolic persistence * Yellow Bag * Radical Reduction

Within the evolving field of Socioplastics articulated by Anto Lloveras, the Yellow Bag protocol crystallises as a radical exercise in reduction, deploying a single bright carrier not as symbol but as operative device. Conceived as situational fixer, the bag refuses spectacle and accumulation, remaining structurally empty so that relational intensity, rather than objecthood, becomes the locus of meaning. Its yellow saturation functions as calibrated chromatic index—declarative yet non-dominant—operating as a satellite hue that orbits mutable terrains while preserving continuity across displacement. Through habitual acts of carrying, depositing, and quiet exchange, the bag activates micro-structures of care, transforming artistic production into sustained presence and situated listening. This architecture of affection privileges gesture over possession and repetition over rarity, modelling an alternative economy in which experiential sedimentation supersedes institutional validation. The protocol’s operational austerity exemplifies light social sculpture: maximal relational output derived from minimal material input, a form of metabolic governance that legislates flows of memory and proximity without leaving extractive residue. Seriality unfolds experientially rather than formally, hardening through embodied recurrence and vernacular reactivation. In resisting both commodity fetishism and staged conviviality, the Yellow Bag advances a sovereign infrastructural logic—portable, executable, nearly weightless—where instability becomes generative fuel. Its endurance lies in behavioural persistence: it walks, listens, and departs, leaving scarcely any trace beyond affective curvature within the mesh. Thus, through chromatic precision and disciplined modesty, the protocol demonstrates how minimal means can sustain durational sovereignty, curving the relational field inward through quiet, recursive care.
