A Dogumentary approach
Kunstverein Munchen, Munich
The film programme proposes A Dogumentary approach to the neural system of the city. This is detected in the networks of non-conventional users of its space, the ones that participate in the constant recoding of spatial structures, and who make them into dynamic systems that transfer data onto the local social life in an immediate way. These are fully materialised in the manners of processing different individual and collective human bodies through the city space, as well as in the manners of interpreting sites, going beyond their visual appearance.
The film programme proposes A DOGUMENTARY APPROACH to the neural
system of the city. This is detected in the networks of non-
conventional users of its space, the ones that participate in the
constant recoding of spatial structures, and who make them into

immediate way. These are fully materialised in the manners of
processing different individual and collective human bodies through
the city space, as well as in the manners of interpreting sites,
going beyond their visual appearance.
The goal of the workshop CHALLENGING THE CONSERVATIVE BRAIN was to
witness, research, and represent. Therefore, the intervention from
this programme is aimed at showing the model of documentary
representation that takes into account both the global state of
affairs with its effects on the local communities and the non-
neutrality of methodology of representation in the manner that was
established through ethnological researches. Considering that the old
style of producing documentary, which focuses on the urban, suburban,
and rural communities has failed to take into account its own
immanent conservatism hidden behind the scientific distance (which
was always claiming the social and cultural superiority of the
observing one to the one being observed), the proposal made here, is
to take a step from the documentary towards the DOGUMENTARY APPROACH.
The aim is to try and break one’s own routines, habits, and taste in
research, masked with principles and procedures, acting in
repetitive, and self-referential mode.
