In order to utter the word “SubLinhar”, a set of sounds has to come out of one’s mouth. But there are those of few words... And what happens when one runs out of words? If one removes “Linha” [Line] from the word “Sub(Linha)r” [Under(Line)], one can use it to draw in space, to insinuate shapes and textures, to emphasise movements, do define directions or itineraries that cause us to change place, ask questions of the world and grow up. In such trajectories, the body “also speaks”, packed with bones, tendons and muscles, experiencing the here and the now.
