KÖRPER DELUXE
Auf dem Küchentisch habe ich einen Zettel hinterlassen: „mir geht’s gut, macht euch keine Sorgen“ - Enis Turan
Hermaphroditos is known as a multi-sexual mythological hermaphrodite who is often depicted asleep in art.
Starting from the question of whether Hermaphroditos is really asleep, KÖRPER DELUXE is dedicated to the quiet forms of resistance.
Does the lethargy of the sleeping Hermaphoditos represent an imposed resignation, a having been punished, or is sleep a self-chosen form of action, a form of self-determined withdrawal?
After years of artistic research on queer practices in art and society, the team of Körper Deluxe challenges the optimising mechanisms of our working and private societies and invites us to read sleep, rest, silence and intimacy as a resistant retreat.
KÖRPER DELUXE addresses sleep as empowerment, as an intervention that consists of making oneself invisible in order to share the world with those who are visible.
