Pola Sieverding + Jochem Hendricks + Matthias Kunz + SEEHOF
Since ancient times to the present day the human body is a central theme of artistic reflections. Through various strategies the approach to the body is a way of showing and staging of identity, beauty and power. The body raises questions about one's own innate individual identity, it is the meaning of expression of one's own emotions and at the same time gives us protection, freedom or even limitation. It serves to demonstrate power in different ways - political, psychological, social, financial or sexual power as well as in the family. The body sometimes embodies stereotypical role models, which also remind us of the supposed dichotomy of body and soul. The tension between body and mind are immanent in art. The biological and psychological sex (sex and gender) are not necessarily the same in one person. Art always resumes a fresh view on the body, creates confusions about the own identity and gender, as well as upon age and different phases of life.
