KÖRPER OHNE MACHT

Part 3 of the Solo-Trilogy Körper ohne Macht

 

Can there ever be a body that exists beyond power? A body that neither loses itself  in the other nor continues its self in the other? In „Körper ohne Macht“, the final piece of the eponymous solo trilogy, Angela Schubot embarks on a search for a debordered body of "non-power" and the experience of physical continuity without power.

 

If "In the blind Spot," as the first part of the trilogy puts the exhausted body at its center, which, in the second part "The Fire from within," receives an conjuring healing, Schubot now makes a body perceivable, that escapes the holds of power and wants more than itself. A body that can´t but open up more and more and that becomes one with its inner and outer surroundings.

 

the inside is the outside is the inside.

The body that Schubot draws escapes access as a "knowledge object" (Michel Foucault). With it, neither a beauty contest nor a war can be won - maybe not even a realization. "Körper ohne Macht" is an attempt to occupy nothing and nevertheless be. `
