The Ian Potter Centre Moving Image Commission



CORPUS ECSTATICA

Corpus Ecstatica is a multi-screen moving image installation work that interrogates preconceptions of the body and ways that bodies can be.  Centering queerness as the norm the piece offers audiences opportunities for expanded thought and a return to imagination.  Taking an intersectional approach to representation it presents a fluidity of genders, bodies and beings all imbricated into a coherent tapestry of unexpected and radiant forms.
