Charged Bodies centers on the theme of energy – not as a resource or commodity, but as an existential condition, an unfolding state of becoming. Long before science claimed energy as a measurable quantity, the concept originated in Greek philosophy: energeia (ἐνέργεια) described the condition of being at work, of potential realized in motion. It denoted not simply force, but the act of doing, of transformation in progress.
Across installation, sculpture, video, photography, and performance, the exhibition brings together nine women artists who trace energy through its many phases: charging, discharge, transformation, connection, extraction, storage, and collective experience.
Embedded in social unrest, ecological systems, digital habitats, performative bodies, and collective anticipation, these works reflect on the thresholds where change begins, bodies respond, and matter remembers. Energy is not experienced in isolation, but as a continuous, entangled process – fluid, overlapping, and always in motion.
