Desbridar is a duo piece with two performers interacting alongside with robotic prosthesis, exploring and exhausting the possibilities of that long term interaction.
The term Desbridar (in English “debride”) comes from a surgical exfoliation process for the removal of dead, damaged or infected tissue in order to improve the healing of the remaining tissue. The name is a poetic symbolization of more than five years of research and interaction with the robotic devices developed by Post-Organic Bauplan, referring to a constant process of somatic re-organization and re-symbolization.

BIO Post-Organic Bauplan: Post-organic Bauplan (ARG/DEU) is integrated by Josefina Maro, performance artist and Salvador Marino, Dr. in Evolutionary Biology and multimedia artist. The project started in 2017 in Córdoba, Argentina. Post-Organic Bauplan works on the development of robotic prostheses to explore from movement and question the practices that condition our bodily perception. The duo want to disembody the idea of the body as natural, given and unmodifiable. The prostheses developed by Post-Organic Bauplan become a source for experimentation and imagination of a corporeality outside its institutionalization, making possible a new relationship with the environment and allowing to rethink corporeal limits.
Post-Organic Bauplan robotic prostheses are developed from scratch by the team. The group explores various presentation formats such as live performances, video & sound installations and workshops.
