With body as prosthesis_a limit of boundary, Jonas Büßecker further develops his artistic practice in close cooperation with the dancer Thesis. The work focuses on the theme of boundary both internal and external, sculpting moments of struggle that lead to an imminent overcoming of boundaries on several levels. Büßecker and Thesis invent a space in which to explore one's own limits, to confront them and to transcend them. body as prosthesis_a limit of boundary itself transcends the common categorizations of art, oscillating somewhere between dance, sculpture, installation, stage and environment. The work engages the space to highlight our own limits and boundaries, bridging the gaps between the foreign and the self. It is about irritation, doubt, struggle, reconciliation, empowerment and the liberation of the subject from the constricting structures of our objectified social reality. body as prosthesis_a limit of boundary opens up a field of understanding just beyond one's limit, where self-reference finds truer meaning and the experience of the individual is no longer bound by it.
Music by Finn Nelé.

About the Artist:
In his work, Jonas Büßecker declines the aesthetic moment of tension with a self-evident like consistence. For some years now, he has been interested in the sphere of activity of this moment - the gap between space and body. Since 2016, Büßecker (born in 1990) has lived and worked in Berlin. From 2011 to 2016 he studied art therapy in he south of Germany.
A year after he became a student of UdK Berlin (Universität der Künste), he joined the class of Karsten Konrad in 2017. As a recipient of the Hanke-Förster-Preis 2019 and a finalist of Berlin Masters 2019, his work was showcased in various exhibitions at both, national and international levels. Büßeckers‘ work has been presented at Kunsthalle West in Lana / Italy, Galerie Mazzoli in Berlin, Emerging Lines a European exhibition project in Berlin and in town hall gallery of Paduli near Naples/Italy (residency). He addresses the dependence between space and body in large-scale installations and body-related sculptures. The situations he creates are based on a dialectical tension between two opposites: fragile and solid, soft and hard, light and heavy. Fragile, tender and soft fabrics such as feathers, yarn, or cushions encounter raw and severe concrete blocks, steel bars, and hooks. In those confrontations, habitual power-dynamics are changing into its opposite.
