Five artists, five nations, three artistic mediums, and one goal: The Body Language exhibition reveals the different ways we relate to our bodies. It is about strength, alienation, suffering and identity. Physicality becomes (again) perceptible as a human quality in a time in which digital experience and artificial intelligence are becoming more prevalent. Ultimately, Body Language refers to the perception of one’s materiality both as a physically tangible aspect and as the sensations associated with our corporeality.
