What does it mean to inhabit a place—or a body? Bodyscapes begins with this question, tracing how artists approach the body not as an object, but as an environment: a mutable site shaped by memory, material experience, and emotional charge; a lived terrain.

Through the eyes of ten female artists—one working as part of a duo—the body undergoes transformations, deformations, and mutations: challenging beauty standards, mirroring the endless loop of social media validation, defying gravity in search of freedom without ever leaving itself. Some bodies remain whole, quiet, grounded, insisting on their right simply to exist. In these works, the body is a sanctuary, a space for healing and connection with the inner self and nature. Finally, the digital bodies in the exhibition reflect the same embodied approach: they speak not of escape or disembodiment, but of inhabiting the virtual realm through the body—living with it, rather than attempting to leave it behind.

Across photography, AI, video, and performance, the body speaks for itself. Nature appears not as backdrop but as collaborator, particularly in the recurring presence of water. A terrifying and powerful force, water serves as a symbol of purification, liberation, and return to origins, to the primal state. It distorts the body, shuts all senses, but also releases it from weight, routine, and emotional noise. Fluid by nature, water echoes across the exhibition as a theme of perpetual flux, where bodies and identities are in transition, caught in an act of becoming. Movement is another shared language. Many of the works evoke dance-like forms through underwater movement or AI-choreography, reflecting a search for embodiment beyond fixed boundaries.

In Bodyscapes, the body is fully integrated, positioned within a larger natural and existential order. The body is neither object nor ornament; it is a living part of the world’s fabric, as vital and complex as any landscape.
