Spaces Embodied

We live in spaces that we shape in accordance with our own ideas. Our everyday lives leave traces in them that speak to our habits. We grow into the spaces we inhabit— and they in turn become expressions of our personalities. Conversely, spaces, depending on their architecture and location, inform our existence. Spaces Embodied gathers works of art that, rather than conceiving of the human sphere and the spatial domain as separate, comprehend them in their complex entanglements: in bodily experience, emotional dependency, or the instinctive need for protection. An essay by Olesja Nein, the project’ s curator, offers an introduction to the exhibition and takes the reader on a tour. Philipp Zitzlsperger, meanwhile, zooms in on the imprint as an artistic technique with a distinctive aura.
