Asamble

In her work, Amalia Pica constantly looks into communication and its failures in the present time; she explores the different ways in which we convey our ideas and relate to one another based on them.
With this premise as a basis, she developed Asamble, a participative performance in which a heterogeneous group of people gather in a square carrying chairs. This event suggests an attempt to voluntarily congregate in a circular assembly that never closes.
For this occasion, Pica chose to carry out the action -a metaphor for assembly- in the Plaza de los Dos Congresos, right in front of the House of Congress of Argentina, an emblematic space for debate of democratic governments. The work invites people to reflect upon exercising citizenship in a democracy.
