Documentació del procés

La natura transdisciplinar del projecte El Final del Camino m’obliga a treballar de manera que els seus diversos components i disciplines es sincronitzin fins a obrar la màgia de l’obra final. Cal fer cada cosa al moment que toca: compondre primer la música i les lletres per després dibuixar-les amb imatges i escenes.

En el context d’aquesta assignatura, al lliurament final marcat amb la data límit del 23 de juny de 2024, veurem fet realitat un vídeo, però també podrem assistir a la performance en què compartiré amb amics, col·legues i familiars la feina feta, escoltar la música -i/o creació sonora– a les plataformes d’streaming com Spotify o Sound Cloud o interactuar amb una demostració de l’espai escènic dissenyat de manera tridimensional amb el software de Unity.

Vaig enregistrar una primera capa sonora i visual mentre netejava la cuina de l’estudi dins la metodologia de documentar la meva quotidianitat (en acabar, vaig demanar menjar a domicili al meu restaurant japonès de referència). Aquest posar les coses al seu lloc em serveix per expressar el camí creatiu, en què primer els elements compositius estan mancats de coherència per a, de manera paulatina, ser desats a un lloc en què prenen sentit els uns respecte els altres.

A la segona capa hi combino una passejada per la plaça de Sóller i voltants efectuada just després d’haver-hi escrit els primers versos de la cançó, que aprofito per recitar i cantussejar per primera vegada.

El resultat és un esboç en forma de vídeo que mostra diverses possibilitats creatives i m’inspira a l’hora de construir allò que està encara per fer: Hay que tener huevos, que pot visualitzar-se a YouTube.

Esto que veis en el vídeo se conoce como Breast Crawl (el gateo hacia el pecho), y durante varias décadas ha sido un fenómeno prácticamente desconocido porque no se permitía a los bebés hacerlo.

Nacían, se les pinzaba y cortaba el cordón, se les limpiaba, aspiraba, pesaba, medía, vestía y se les llevaba a la sala con el resto de bebés (nursery).

Si era cesárea, la separación podía ser de varias horas, incluso de un día para el otro.

Así que las lactancias eran, muchas, un desastre (sabemos que una separación de solo 20 minutos puede perjudicar el agarre y la lactancia a medio y largo plazo).

⭐Hasta que se abogó por no separar al bebé de su madre, porque se vio que mamaban mejor, mantenían mejor la temperatura, tenían menos estrés, mejoraba el vínculo en las primeras semanas, la hidratación de la piel al no bañarlos y el desarrollo al no pinzar el cordón.

Y los bebés empezaron a reptar solitos hasta el pecho, porque nacen activos, despiertos, y con la boquita preparada para mamar y crear su impronta oral (mamar, y memorizar cómo se hace).

Por eso, si no hay ninguna contraindicación, si todo ha ido bien y quieres amamantar, lo ideal es que os dejan así: bebé y mamá, piel con piel, y que tu bebé repte y busque el pecho.

Death Work: Animal Remains

In my practice, I use remains, mainly animal bones, to connect with spirits, connect with Death, and in magical workings. Just recently, I’ve taken 3 more animals under my wing, and I thought it would be nice to detail my process of finding, handling, and working with remains as I actually initiate that process. Beginning first with finding remains and initial contact. As a death worker, I strive to honor the deceased and aid them in their transition, as well as bond with Death and use death and decay in magical practices. I have been doing spirit work for as long as I can remember and have begun learning under a few entities how to properly assist and tend to The Dead. As such this is not a “how-to”, just me sharing my beliefs but I’m open to questions and discussion :)

Finding Remains

If setting out with the intention of finding remains, it’s important to be prepared. It’s not a fun experience finding something and not being able to take it then, only to come back and it’s gone. Nor is it a good idea to grab things barehanded. I always have a bag with me packed with disposable gloves, trash bags/old shopping bags, and a mask (death reeks!). And if you don’t end up finding anything you can pick up any trash you come across !! I also make sure to bring offerings so I can leave them where I find remains, as well as personal ritual items used in funerary rituals. A hagstone has also always seemed to bring me luck on my searches :)

Where animals live, animals will die. Forests, wooded areas, creeks, wetlands, large areas without much human activity. You typically won’t find much in areas with heavy foot traffic or human presence. It’s good to find areas with lots of game trials, typically I find remains a little bit off from them. If the area has a lot of deadfall, fallen leaves, or snow, it’ll be a lot harder to spot remains. I’ve also had a lot of luck finding small bones and fossils on the banks of rivers, ponds, and lakes. Be wary of fresh or actively decaying corpses, there is a lot of bacteria and the animal itself can be carrying diseases. Always use protective gear when handling remains until they are completely sanitized.

Code of Conduct

While everyone holds varying ethical and moral beliefs, there are a few important issues I believe people should be aware of.

It's important to try you're best to not disturb other animals while searching. Respect the living as well as the dead. Personally, I don't hunt or otherwise intentionally kill animals but I understand the use. However, I do believe that the whole animal should be put to use and not left to waste. In death work, more often finding animals dead than not, this translates as never taking things that animals/bugs could eat or that you will not use. Nothing should be thrown away in the trash, I believe it is really disrespectful to chuck something like that into a garbage bag when leaving it outside would require minimally more effort. The nutrients of every organism deserve to go back to the soil.

Laws

Many places have laws that protect certain species. For example, the remains of native birds are usually legally protected in the US. Many endangered and at-risk animals are also protected. Even retrieving roadkill is illegal in some places! However, many places fail to impose proper protections on many animals that desperately need it. Always do your research on your local laws and the status of species in your area. Do not trophy hunt irl or online!

Sourcing

I haven't ever bought remains and don't plan to any time soon. I believe that if I'm meant to find it, it'll find me one way or another. Purchasing remains can be fine and ethical, but there are many situations in which it is not. A lot of remains, especially bones and furs, are not ethically sourced. Meaning mass farming, mass trapping, poaching, and cruel killing methods. It's important to know how remains were sourced, especially if one intends to bond with the spirit. Foxes, reptiles, cats, dogs, and skulls (in general) can be easily found on sites like Etsy, The Bone Room (avoid this site!!), and many real-life oddity expos where they 100000% source remains in either illegal or highly unethical ways. If a site sells illegal or endangered animals (bats, wolves, native birds, etc), cheap animals in bulk, or human remains then it is probably best to steer clear! Some Etsy shops will even title their listings as things like “man’s best friend” to try to get around the legality of selling dog remains among other species.

Initial Contact

After first finding remains I intend to collect, I introduce myself and state my intentions. I then leave offerings and ask to relocate/remove their remains. I approach this in a sorrowful, empathetic manner until giving them a burial and cleaning the remains.

I feel it's very important to ask the spirit before doing anything with the remains. However, if it's roadkill or in a vulnerable area with lots of people, then it's more respectful to relocate it to a quieter place. After doing spirit work for a while, instead of verbally asking and then divining, it’s more of a vibe check for me. When asking a spirit to take their remains, you should state your intentions whether that be art, bonding with them, or magical workings. I do not believe that the shade of an individual is permanently attached to its remains, nor do I believe that the shade is trapped wherever its remains are. However, I also believe that every being should have the opportunity to rest undisturbed if it so pleases. If a spirit truly does not want you fucking with its remains, I believe it will let you know through nightmares, bad luck, illness, and reoccurring thoughts of guilt among other things. You should be willing to leave the decreased alone if it comes to that, but in my experience, there have been few times in which a spirit is both still “connected” to its remains and dislikes the idea of me possessing them. I reckon that animals hold little use to their physical remains after passing, dissimilar to humans who tend to still want autonomy. There have, however, been times when I’ve forgotten about remains (either waiting to be processed in bags or actively processing in a bucket) and get a wave of guilt and think “oh fuck I should pull the deer out of the tub.”

I believe it is very important to leave offerings for The Dead, especially if you are disturbing their remains. Offerings act as both an honoring act for the deceased and payment for the remains. Offerings left out in nature should always be biodegradable and should not be anything that could harm any creature that comes across it. Typically, I make small bundle-type offerings from rocks, shells, plants, and sticks. They can also be food/drink (that is commonly safe for the deceased animal you are offering to), written poetry, or drawn art (on safe paper with graphite).

In addition, I always promise The Dead a burial. A burial does not have to be a grave 6 feet deep, but in some fashion, a piece of the deceased should be given a quiet and safe resting place away from humans. Even if the shade isn’t “contained” in the remains, I hold the belief that it can act as a tether for a part of the soul (hence using remains for spirit communication), and the individual should have the option to rest in a quiet place rather than sitting on a shelf. A burial also ensures that the nutrients contained in the remains are given back to the Earth. Life is a gift that must be returned to where it came from for the cycle to continue – thou art dust and to dust thou shalt return. Along this line of thought, no part of a being should be wasted. Meaning returning unused skin, fur/feathers, bones/fragments, guts, and anything you have no use for. Even with water maceration, the nutrients in the water can be returned to the soil and eaten by bugs. The location of the burial should be somewhere in nature, away from human activity and off footpaths. They don't necessarily need to be buried, they could be placed in high grass or in thickets. Scavengers, bugs, and fungi will take it from there. Death and decay remain important aspects of nature that continue to nurture other critters and the soil itself.

Cleaning Remains

Cleaning is a devotional act really. I won’t go into the actual cleaning process here because it’s long and varied, but another time maybe (I mainly use water maceration). During cleaning, I follow several rules to ensure respect for the deceased. Most importantly, I don’t treat remains as a toy or something to gawk at. At one point, these were living individuals and my respect for them doesn’t stop as soon as their heart stops pumping. The remains are cleaned thoroughly and well taken care of to prevent damage. I make an effort to never mix bones from different individuals to maintain a level of autonomy and the practical reason of being able to keep track of who's who. With displaying, I try to give everything its own space. My twin fish are kept together in a jar (they r in luv) that serves as their spirit home, sometimes I will set offerings or candles beside it. TOO, I find it important to spend time with the remains if one aims to form a relationship with the spirits. Just a few days ago I took a few armadillo bones out with me for a walk in the rain, which may sound a little crazy to some but I can only hope that I can feel the rain and hear the thunder after I've passed.

The cleaning process is a long and hard one, it's a good time to bond with the remains. As you hold them in your hands, feel every inch of it. Feel the grooves, the textures, the weight, the temperature. Does it feel cold and hollow? Does it feel like a pit is forming in your stomach? Does it feel like a bright light is radiating off it? Do any memories, thoughts, or emotions arise? It is a good way to get to know the spirit/energy of the remains.

Working with Remains

I don't work with the spirit of every bone I find. That would be very difficult, and many don't have spirits attached to them much anymore. Remains can be used in magic, divination, offerings, and art. If I'm using remains as ritual tools, I will first bond with them, consecrate, and then continuously feed them. Just some of the ways remains can be used in death work and magic;

Connecting with Death

Connecting with the individual spirit or species archetype

Conjuring The Dead: I find that bones can be excellent wands used to call upon spirits. They can be really good tools for directing energy, especially for the earthly deceased.

Offerings to Chthonic / death associated entities: many of the bones I have, I've put on my altars for Hades, Hekate, and Lucifer. Not only because they represent death and are aesthetically fitting, but to place the deceased under the protection of those entities.

Bindings: I believe a hollow bone could be used for a good binding by placing taglocks and ritual ingredients into the hollowed center and sealing it up tight. Bones are strong and hard to break, whatever you put in them will have a hard time finding their way out. They take a very long time to decay, so if you buried it after binding someone, I reckon they'd be there for a long time. Bones are a physical representation of death so there could also be an opportunity for some nasty effects.

Spirit vessels: in a similar line of thought as bindings, bones are excellent for containing or homing spirits. Typically these are entities associated with the species the remains belong to.

Ritual tools and instruments: bone athames, wands, offering dishes, flutes, whistles, drums, containers, osteomancy sets, the list goes on.

Additionally, specific parts can represent certain things and can be useful in certain workings.

Teeth: teeth from predators/carnivores represent power, defense, and protection. They are well suited for protection talismans, wards, and asserting dominance over others.

Claws: similar to teeth, claws can be used as strong protection charms.

Skulls: I would say the skull is the defining bone of an individual. The seat of the mind, consciousness, and all perception. Skulls can be used to bond with spirits or keep away spirits, similar to how a jack-o-lantern works.

Rabbit feet: rabbit feet are popularly considered lucky charms. You can also use them to help you navigate situations quickly and bring about fertility and abundance.

Chicken feet: chicken feet are commonly turned into protective amulets. They usually have long, sharp claws perfect for scratching back at anyone who tries to harm you.

Tongues/eyes/ears/brains: these structures supply us with our sensory perception and are vital parts of most species. They can be used to draw upon psychic abilities (eyes for clairvoyance or visions, brains for claircognizance). They can also be used to dampen the senses, such as tying, binding, or pinning a tongue to shut someone up.

Heart: often used to represent emotions like love. Can be used in love spells or to hurt someone emotionally.

Liver: a common form of divination in the ancient world was to slaughter an animal and then interpret patterns and markings on its liver. This is actually something I find fascinating, look into Mesopotamian liver divination and hepatoscopy!!

Shed skin: shed skin from snakes, reptiles, and bugs can be used to represent change, renewal, enlightenment, and letting go by "shedding your old skin".

Antlers: antlers often represent strength and power as animals will use them to fight with each other and assert their dominance over their territory. Small ones could be fastened to bags and be used as protective charms. They can also be made into wands or protective pendants.

Shells: I've always associated shells with protection since that is their purpose. I often use a powder made from ground shells to pour along the edges of rooms or windowsills.

Scapula: Interestingly, used in many belief systems and cultures for divination. Scapulimancy is the divinatory use of scapulae by interpreting post-mortem markings, or markings/cracks on the bone made by holding it over a flame. Another divinatory use found in old necromantic manuals, specifically the Munich Manual, is using the scapula as a scrying mirror by anointing it with magical oils and conjuring spirits in the reflection.

Turtle plastron: used alongside scapulae in Chinese divination, the querent would paint or carve their question into the bone, drill evenly spaced holes, and then hold it over a flame and interpret the cracks or burn marks.

Mireia Sallarès

Entrevistes al Grid_Spinoza (3 de 3)

Les obres de la Mireia Sallarès poden definir-se com a documentals que narren la realitat amb l’ajut d’equips d’enregistrament molt austers, poc invasius. La seva metodologia de producció cultural es desplega en dues etapes. La primera d’elles és de caràcter poc endreçat, lineal i sense límits, documentant la realitat sense filtres. La segona, en canvi, condicionada pel format tecnològic videogràfic contrasta amb la primera per l’alt grau d’estructuració dels materials recollits a partir d’allò viscut.

Fotograma de l’entrevista del Grid_Spinoza a Mireia Sallarès (Barcelona, 2010)

Sallarès afirma formar part d’una comunitat de creadors que treballa fent servir uns determinats suports tecnològics com a tema comú (cosa que contrasta amb la natura individualista del treball de l���abans vist Laurent Mignonneau). Tot seguit, fa créixer aquesta llavor tecnològica, de marcat caràcter procedimental, sense oblidar la investigació bibliogràfica i webgràfica, deixant fluir la documentació del que succeeix, en les seves paraules, “pels racons”. Els seus llocs d’experimentació habituals transiten en la quotidianitat de les vivències personals, com per exemple en converses de bar.

Cartell promocional de «Las Muertes Chiquitas» (Sallarès, 2013)

La manera de procedir de Sallarès integra positivament l’error, entenent que és necessari i positiu per a l’aprenentatge que hi ha al darrera de tota producció cultural. Reivindica l’element convuls de tota creació contenint bellesa. Possiblement sigui per això que la Mireia defensa l’assumpció de riscos creatius, que sovint la porten a mantenir una tesi inicial de projecte fins al final, per més que en alguns moments aquesta pugui semblar poc adequada o fructífera.

Tràiler de la pel·lícula Las Muertes Chiquitas

Es declara una apassionada del llenguatge cultural transdisciplinar, que la impulsa a lloar “l’esperit festiu” que hi ha a darrera tota reunió entre diverses aproximacions disciplinars que treballen en pro d’un objectiu expressiu comú. Això sí, no oblida advertir que la intensitat que genera tot allò amb caràcter “trans” pot ocasionar ferits en el seu camí vers la realització.

- Vietnam 1970.

Dry dead leaves crunched under the weight of his body repting on the ground in the shadows with the maximum stealth possible as he was used to. Covered in his uniform with vegetation, leaves and mud, that made his cover in the middle of the cloudy battleground called jungle; hands gripping tight the long range rifle, putting his senses to work getting on the ordered position. Hearing, smelling, feeling his surroundings, high guard at all times.

The safety of the gun clicked with a steady move. Sight aimed at an open field over a fallen trunk from the deep foliage, one order, one shot, one kill, all what he had to and then return with the allies to accomplish the next task.

His eyes looked through the telescope, adjusting the lenses, searching for that one selected face, giving a look around to the amount of American soldiers occupying the burning village; women and kids being carried on trucks, some men taken away, others were getting ready to be brought to the enemy POW camps. He settled into his ground, squinting one of his eyes. Target in sight, ready to shoot, ready to comply.

The finger on the trigger froze, his attention got stolen as the corner of his eye caught a quick flutter, a bug, landing at the tip of the gun. He stood still, watching the creature, a butterfly flick its wings at a slow pace resting on the cold metal; the gentle flaps of white and bright yellow got him hypnotized, displaying in front of him, it was… beautiful, nothing as he could have seen before. He stared at it, watching that moment go away as the bug chose to leave flapping its wings gracefully, just as it came, it left followed by his eyes.

His mind came back to reality, blinking to focus on duty. Looking through the sight, the target was gone; guilt bit his chest, he missed the chance, he will have to track them back again.

"Living weapon" prompt.
