Corpus

"A corpus is not a discourse, and it is not a narrative. It is a corpus that it would be necessary here. Here, there is like a promise that it must be about the body, that it will be about him, there, almost without delay. A kind of promise that will neither be the object of a treatise, nor the subject of quotations and recitations, nor the character or the setting of a story. There is, to say the least, a kind of promise to remain silent." Jean-Luc Nancy, philosopher

Seven women artists explore issues of body and identity, resistance to alienation and reification, resilience and emancipation, the body as seen and the body as shown, the relationship between bodies, in public and intimate space, between human and non-human bodies, between bodies and architecture, the encounter between body and history.
