Flashing Bodies / Action Eight / 'Censura Emocional'Completely Naked presents Flashing Bodies Action Eight as part of Escrita Na Paisagem festival in Evora, Portugal; from the 19th to the 25th September 2011 Based on the on-going idea of the Myth in this year's Escrita Na Paisagem festival, Censura Emotional is a participative event exploring how we create myths, prohibitions, boundaries and censorships regarding our identity both as physical and emotional human beings. Are myths the fruit of prohibitions? Myths are the unknown, what’s untenable, inaccessible; once you access a myth it stops been one. So, do we impose emotional censorship to ourselves? What are the limits? What’s acceptable and what’s not and why? Are we restricted by physical issues or should we be more afraid of our emotional fragility? Flashing Bodies: an undisciplinedBodies are places of discipline, as we all learned from Foucault. Known to be provocative, unruly, undisciplined, the Completely Naked collective puts the body at the core of their visual and performative research. Their Flashing Bodies series allow us to explore issues such as gender politics, intimacy, censorship and (extreme) sexual behaviour, identity, community, presenting a series of live events, based on workshops and participatory strategies, and a series of photo-performance books. Commissioned by Festival Escrita na Paisagem, Flashing Bodies - Action Eight took place in Évora, Portugal, providing a working map to an international group of performers who embodyed emotional censorship and myths. The project driven by Pau Ros, Pablo Goikoetxea and Pablo Robertson, explores found locations, both industrial and natural spaces in Évora, giving rise to a set of images, creating a challenging live presentation and the book you are now reading. On making Flashing Bodies, Completely Naked confronts participants and audience with body politics, performing gender troubles, negotiating both intimacy and the public realm, embodying myths and surfacing censored senses and deeper emotional forbidden gestures. But also by giving time to the experience, slowing down in space, and to merge, so to speak, in body and location, by contrasting everyday experience with natural locations and found places, Flashing Bodies - action eight drives its provocative, unruly and undisciplined core to a new unprecedented level.

The BookIMPORTANT NOTICE: Due the big amount of material and Blurb prices (typical of Publish On Demand), our BIG book is very expensive (it goes around £100!). So we decide to do a big book (30x30cm) and two small ones, one from the promotional images we did in London and another from Portugal, featuring a resume of the best images. So, if you want to buy a book, be very aware you have 3 options. Thanks! London PrologueCensura Emocional in Portugal abridged
