A visual, emotional & conceptual archive of performative installations that anticipated the LGP Method's integrative logic. This article presents a series of digital collages created through the daily reworking of personal archives—photos, performance records, and installations. These images are not final works but affective documents in motion. They explore the blurred boundaries between memory, artwork, and archive. This visual practice is part of the ongoing evolution of the LGP Method, showing how transformation and process are central to its structure. After the method's formalization, a new identity—New Art—emerged, emphasizing mobility, reinvention, and the spiritual-emotional dimension of creative work. This archive also acknowledges the valuable collaborations with artists, performers, and institutions who engaged with different stages of the process, activating the method from multiple perspectives.

This thesis explores the layered and often ambiguous relationship between place, memory, and history in the southwest region of Poland, with particular attention to the city of Wrocław. Combining site-specific observation with theoretical reflection, it examines how everyday encounters with neglected, transitional, or repurposed spaces contribute to a sense of familiarity and belonging in a region shaped by post-war displacement, political upheaval, and economic transformation. Through examples such as a stadium which kept on changing its role, remnants of wartime infrastructure, and viral online videos captured in forgotten environments, the research investigates how traces of the past persist outside institutional archives and dominant historical narratives. Drawing on thinkers including Yi-Fu Tuan, Paul Connerton, and Henri Lefebvre, the thesis emphasizes the importance of lived experience, spatial practice, and the subtle cues embedded in the landscape. Rather than presenting a fixed interpretation of history, the work advocates for a more nuanced, open-ended approach—one that recognizes the complexity of the past as it is revealed through the overlooked, the accidental, and the intimately familiar.

This virtual exposition partially concentrates the experimental works developed during the doctorate in musical performance. Based mainly on the theory of transcreation of Haroldo de Campos (1962-2003), the topic of virtuosity is approached from artistic gestures trying to raise the discussion on what it means to be a virtuoso in the contemporary musical world. Paradoxically, iconic piano technique studies were chosen as the main material,this transcreationist interpretation allows traditional material to be permeated not only by contemporary means and aesthetics, but also questions that reflect on the tradition that made the emergence of these studies possible.

Taking as a departure point my experience working with war survivors in Peru, this project investigates how art can enable the collectivization of mourning. I connected my interest in the act of mourning human losses with my experiences living in Athens, Greece, where I encountered depression as a common diagnosis on both the individual and collective levels. If being depressed relates to unresolved mourning processes, what are the objects of loss caused by economic crisis and political disillusion? How can art help us to mourn an abstract loss, such as a political project, a certain sense of dignity, a particular relation with time and nature, or a fixed role in the familial structure? How could mourning be shared to allow communities to reframe and re-signify those objects of loss, towards transforming our relation to the economic and political? Lost and Shared creates dialogue between theory and affective labour, through collective experiences that connect emotions, critical thinking, body and space. The intuitions and questions brought by conversations with Greek activists and artists are the core of the project. Later on, facing the impossibility of working as planned due to the pandemic, Lost and Shared was adapted to the new socializing conditions and to acknowledge how crisis and mourning had become a global concern. Thus, the project ends up proposing the idea of “fertilizing mourning” as a concept in the making - an open invitation to collectively create practices that help us reconsidering the entanglements between life, death, and regeneration. Urgent practices we need today in order to contest the increasing, global processes of loss caused by capitalism.
