PHYSICAL PERFORMANCE // what happens to a human body when it is immersed in a state of ultraviolence? how does the fact of having a weapon in our hands choreograph our movement, formulate our intentions? in the center of our artistic investigation is a body that reflects everything that happens outside. thinking about the ways how ideologies shape our bodies and minds, in a very subtle way they restructure us from the inside, choreograph our bodies and finally make our bodies unable to act freely.
to participate in a violence is to make a rupture between feeling/ emotion and function. thinking of human bodies only in terms of their functionality helps to control the masses. we are thinking and moving along with the images from protests, manifestations, violent scenes, reducing them to the level of a graphic sign or a text, trying to embody them, listen to them, move together and away from them.
