DUELO is a stage that every human being has to experiment in life as a process of emotional adaptation that follows any loss, but also, this word means a battle, a combat between two. The duality of this word in Spanish is the central concept of this project. Duelo is losing someone or something and the personal fight to deal with in all this journey of acceptance of feeling. The purpose of the project is to explore this journey and depict the personal battle of someone across this odyssey of acceptance of feelings by creating a particular and operative visual device (considering the concept of Dispositif by Michel Foucault). This device implies different settings that can play with our personal and visual perception to give us another idea of how we visualize. In this case, how feelings can be represented in different ways. How can we have a different immersive visualization approach as the final result comes with a meticulous process of crossing information in various areas and building a new setting where the human body will represent emotions to have a significant meaning. The duality present in the word Duelo drives us to build certain poses as the body language will be the main subject as a tool of storytelling. Each stage of the grief/loss process will have different positions to depict the various relationships between movement, space, energy, and personal feelings confrontation during this process through the dispositif.
