Soma and the Disembodied negotiates the tension between the body as an experienced subject and the body as image and object. The work emerges from an interdisciplinary practice between dance and visual art and reflects the simultaneous engagement with the body itself and its mediated representations.
Photographs, film stills, and AI-generated images are digitally processed, printed, folded, and coated with epoxy resin. These image-bodies are combined with 3D-printed body fragments and architectural structures made of concrete, wood, or steel. The bodies appear fragmented, distorted, or dematerialized, oscillating between human figure, architecture, and mythical being.
By allowing the works to circulate between analog, digital, and virtual media, a multi-cyclical process unfolds. Through the overlay of physical, digital, and fantastical realities, the work investigates how body images and perception shift in an age of technological mediation.
