The Body Project

The Body Project

“The Body Project” is an ongoing dialogue between different creators, their work and the focus on the body. Through this project we want to make changing perspectives regarding the body visible and discussable by using the body as an instrument, object and as performative material. In doing so, we want to re-contextualize the context of jewelry by examining the relationship with the body as a framework and questioning and making insightful the relationship between the body and the object. Through this presentation, we aim to put the discipline at the center of contemporary issues. Collaborations between makers from different disciplines, moving at the intersection of different disciplines, such as, photography, performance, fine art and fashion will be the focus during the presentation. The body will be approached in “The Body Project” from different perspectives such as; culture, identity, objectification, de humanisation, power structures, social engineering, the future, the repressed body, the future body (post humanism), the superfluous body (robotics)
