Corpus Mobile

Is a living body ever immobile? Asks Frederica Dauri, a young experimental artist with a strong focus on the body as a multifunctional tool. Together with visual artist Kiril Bikov she made the performance installation Corpus Mobile.

In Corpus Mobile, Dauri’s body is laid bare and exposed under 50 razor-sharp knives hanging only a few millimetres above her. In this condition of immobility and constriction the performer can experience the physical and mental limitation that is forced upon her. 

This performance installation was part of ICK’s event THE BODY IN REVOLT x ADE where photographer Alwin Poiana took these strong pictures. Starting from the idea that the body is our tool and instrument with which we experience the outside world, and also that the same body has have power to shape and influence society, ICK dancer Arad Inbar curated together with artist Bogomir Doringer an event around Club Culture as an initiator of changes, as a form of activism.

For Dauri and Bikov Corpus Mobile is a search of the oppressed body to find alternatives to given limitations. How do you move?
