‘To scatter manure’ is an agricultural word evoking the smell of animal manure on farmland. Manure: decomposed organic matter which covers, feeds and fertilizes land in order to facilitate a good harvest
“To scatter manure” is a metaphor for today’s situation in which the fall of the European economy, the lack of confidence in politicians and the destruction of social benefits has left citizens in a state of uncertainty. The option open to us is to transform the arrid, exhausted countryside into a fertile and productive one where the words manure, fertility, change and growth become, in 2013, hope for a future.
Will we be able to fertilize all the fields? What seeds will we get to grow in our future?
Perejaume is a visual artista and writer. Lives, works and does what he can. We are not oblige to do anymore. For the Jafre Biennial, Perejaume will offer, at five o’clock in the afternoon, a bouquet of flowers to the highest point in the municipal area and another one to the lowest. Like he said: “a farmer reduces the world to a place and the place expands, a tourist reduces the places to the world and the places abridged.”
Conversations on Pleasure, 2013 2 day actions For the Bienal de Jafre she will transform the goal of the village football pitch into a setting for conversational interviews with the public on the topic of pleasure, in particular female sexual pleasure, and attempt to generate a set of images around the theme with the interviewees.
