Flor Motion | Frenzied

Movement in space and time. As soon as we enter Góngora House, the Flor Motion group introduces us into a tornado that elevates us and carries us away. Where to? To faraway lands, where cotton comes from – America, Africa, India – a plant that is now common in Andalusia but was not always there… Trepidante (Frenzied) is a dust cloud that picks up spices, seeds and nuances of light along its path and transports us to other places. To do this, endless hours of wicker handiwork were needed, as well as a strong passion for a flower that we haven’t seen at the Festival up to now: the simple yet lovely cotton flower.

“Everything is movement and flows until it becomes part of vastly diverse cultures on a journey that, encompassing the senses, is more historical than geographical. Like cotton seeds, whose remote origins can be traced back to America, Africa and Hindu roots, it expands and is scattered in its search for land that will embrace it.

A subtle dust cloud that picks up spices, seeds and nuances of light along the way and, on this extended voyage, rises, undulating, to form alliances with diverse continents, cultures and groups. A colourful expression of nature in movement.

Trepidante (Frenzied) moves in and out, up and down throughout the patio of Góngora House to finally open up to viewers, exposing its entire structure. Trepidante (Frenzied) is made of woven wicker and cotton picked from the region’s fields. The entire piece is coloured and scented with the tones and aromas of spices that once were an identifying feature of the city of Cordoba”.
