Photography Alípio Padilha. Temps d'Images. Lisboa, 2019PSYCHO is a piece about two almost identical cinematographic sequences (the film Psycho by Alfred Hitchcock and the homonymous remake by Gus Van Sant made in 1998).
What ap-pears when two things that are different from each other but practically identical are seen simultaneously?
PSYCHO is a piece about the anatomy of two images and their excoriation. PSYCHO is a way of prolonging the time of each body and making their weight present. PSY-CHO is pausing the flow of time and observing with rigour the instants and details of what occurs within. PSYCHO is a game of mirrors. PSYCHO is about doubles. PSYCHO is a copy and its original. PSYCHO is much more than a remake. PSYCHO is a drop of blood falling on a pool of blood. PSYCHO are green lines and horizontal greys.
PSYCHO has to do with the third man. PSYCHO is a third body. PSYCHO is part of the Asleep Images research project, of which the piece Make It, Don’t Fake It (2019) is also a part, and which asks: Can a person in themselves store, be, represent and reproduce cinematographic contents?

Photography Alípio Padilha. Temps d'Images. Lisboa, 2019Ángela Millano (Vitoria-Gasteiz, 1987). She holds a degree in Philosophy from the Universidad Complutense in Madrid, and vocational training in contemporary dance from the RPCD Mariemma, and a Masters in Scenic Practice and Visual Culture(MPECV) from the Universidad de Alcalá and the REina Sofía Museum, in collaboration with La Casa Encendida and Matadero Madrid.
Hogar (2017) and Nunca llevo falda porque no sé cruzar las piernas (2016) are her two latest works. Although from a different angle, from the need to understand death and life as a continuum and the other on the basis of the rage produced by set ideas and rules about sex and gender, both projects deal with the following question: How do we understand, catalogue, handle and legislate bodies (human bodies) in our society? The projects have been developed with a grant for choreographic creation from the Basque Government in 2016 and 2015, respectively, and the support of the Cervantes Institute (Berlin), La Casa Encendida, Sala Pradillo, Dock 11 Berlin, Leal Lav, Histeria Kolektiboa and Sala Baratza, among others. Since 2017, she has been developing the Asleep Images project alongside Julián Pacomio, with residences in La Caldera (Barcelona), Tabakalera (Donostia-San Sebastián) and Atelier Real (Lisbon), out of which came the scenic works Make It Don’t Fake It and PSYCHO; since 2018 she has worked with Pablo Fidalgo on Anarquismos Por el medio de la habitación corre un río más claro); and in 2019 she began a new solo project, TOMMY, with a 2018 grant for choreographic creation from the Basque Government and residences in La Poderosa (Barcelona), Desfoga (Cambados) and soon in DT Espacio escénico (Madrid).
She has also worked with Alexandra Pirici (Aggregate), Johanna Bruckner (Total Algorithms of Partiality), Isabelle Schad (Collective Jumps y Pieces and Elements), Matias Daporta (The Audience is Betatester), Hanna Kritten Tangsoo (Baby don’t Hurt me) and Idoia Zabaleta (Recorrido de Liar), among others.
