Nowadays it seems we care very much about the body. This tendency can be seen in daily life as we talk about fitness, bodybuilding, well being and even sex… However, shall we conclude it is the only way to see the body or is anything else to explore ? We think those three artworks could show differents way to see it. We can see the face, in Charlie Jeffery’s video’s, as a choreography of feelings, coded by the expressions and grimaces. The symmetries of the parts of the body, pictured by Minja Gu and their series create a kind of rythm. Hands and the bodies appear to be ruled but at the same time, those rules are questioned by the artist herself. The hands hitting the river’s surface compose a music sounding like gun bullets, or explosions in Marcos Avila Forero’s artwork.
