This talk will be an introduction to site-specific artistic practices, which use the space, its location, characteristics and particularities (in terms of habits, architecture, circulation and cultural patterns) as the basis for the creation of performative work. The aim is to share our ongoing fieldwork of the downtown area of Ho Chi Minh City. The talk is also an invitation to vietnamese artists to join us in outdoor exercises that involve walking, making pauses and inhabiting the space in order to propose performances according to the singularity of each location.
