Vernissage Bodies That Matter
The exhibition "Bodies That Matter" shows individual positions that make reference to the body and space as a medium for these processes of change and explore how our bodies are changing.
The body reacts to technological changes, how the perception of bodies is changing and how our bodies shape and politicise the environment.
