A group composed of various elements. An entity that moves around through shock. A block of heterogeneity. A group pf individuals that is kept as if they were inside an egg, where each of them searches for one’s right place. Pogo is the way how the punks used to dance around the stage in concerts, at the end of the 1970’s and the beginning of the 1980’s: a brutal, and disordered shock of bodies that mingles and clash one against another, which one by one is getting smashed, but keeping their clenched fist. Dance that is linked to the relationship of the individual with his/her group. Image of a herd, of a battle, of fish. Get leaned, rejected, penetrated, expelled, and used. Ignore. A mass of mixed bodies, differences, indifferences, and singularities. Feel your own body, and reveal your own limits through shock.

Faced to this disguised everyday violence in the most large cities, man creates strategies, tricks, and adjustments to escape from violence and keep on living. My Pogo extracts out of these behaviors, which are signs of inventiveness, of escapement, and against the established order, a resistance and, consequently, an underground liberty, an absence which is next to the savagery of Pogo.
