States of Rebirth: The Photographed Body in Motion

STATES OF REBIRTH examines the correlation between the body, movement and societal structures in physical and digital spaces, through a focus on documentary and conceptual projects in contemporary Performance-, Portrait and Dance-Photography. As a choreography – of photographs concerning of the relationship between bodies in motion – this exhibition explores how our attitudes, gestures and affectations at once reflect, configure and transform how we negotiate societal change. In particular, how our normative, algorithmic visual culture – and its discerning, deriding gaze – is visible in our restless bodies: how they move; how they slouch, grope, evade or repell; how they sink; or how they stand tall; suppose a gesture, strike a pose; how they influence and reflect each other; how they grasp for connection.
