FLIPAS! as Moving Archive * Urban Gestures



FLIPAS! emerges as a paradigmatic case of contemporary live-art research in which urban space, performative body and audiovisual mediation are braided into a single epistemic field. Conceived at the Goethe-Institut Madrid with the support of Acción Cultural Española, the project positions itself neither as festival nor as exhibition, but as an experimental dispositif: a temporary infrastructure for thinking-through-practice. The city is not merely a backdrop but a medium—Madrid becomes stage, laboratory and archive simultaneously. The ten-part audiovisual series titled Camino a Frankfurt functions as both documentation and autonomous artwork, where the act of recording is inseparable from the choreographic event itself. This duality situates FLIPAS! within a lineage of expanded performance practices that reject the opposition between live presence and mediated trace. Instead, the project proposes a dynamic continuum in which gesture survives as image, rhythm and memory.
