Plural Bodies: I Am Here
“A human body is present when, between the see-er and the visible, between touching and touched, between one eye and the other, between hand and hand a kind of crossover occurs, when the spark of the sensing/sensible is lit…”–-Eye and Mind (L’Œil et l’Esprit), Maurice Merleau-Ponty
A human body is a physical entity given to each one of us when we are born. Through it we recognize ourselves, explore things, and sense the environment. A human body is what we use to receive information from the external world and to express ourselves and communicate with others through body movements as symbols. The body moves in space, while the space reflects the existence of the body. As the body moves, the person connects with other beings in that space. One’s existence is demonstrated through repeated physical movement.
The idea of Plural Bodies is about the repetitiveness and plurality of the body. It could be repetitive body movement of marking the passage of time with pen strokes on paper; bodily uneasiness accentuated by replicas of pillow-like objects pooled with water; repeated gestures indicating one’s attitudes in communication; replicated metal loops suggesting bodily constraints imposed by the social environment. In this exhibition, the creators address bodily issues from various perspectives. Existing in the space are bodily images—repeated, in the plural sense, while taking on different forms. The viewers’ experience of seeing them are translated into senses, thoughts and imagination, through which they become aware of the “here and now” in the space.
Plural Bodies: I Am Here is a human-centric discussion about the body and existence. The exhibition features projects by eight groups of artists from Taiwan and abroad, who use the body as a subject or medium to explore its relationships with the self, others, and the space. As the bodies see and are seen, everyone onsite feels the moment of presence—the creators are here, the viewers are here, and I am here.
