Benjamin Francis – A Body without its Flesh

About

While self-consciousness depends on internal and external processes outside of the body, the body as such does not likewise depend on a self-consciousness, causing a form of asymmetry in their joint movement. The body creates errors that influence our ability to be fully conscious, which in turn causes us to unconsciously feel things or to be touched by something without sensing it. Can a dance performance still be harmonious when it’s out of sync?

A Body without its Flesh is the second of three presentations by Benjamin Francis, who graduated from ArtEZ BEAR Fine Art Arnhem in 2020.
