Corpus

«To see a body is precisely not to grasp it with a vision [ . . . ] sight is fragmentary, fractal, shadowy. And anyway, the body is seen by a body.»

Jean-Luc Nancy, ‘Corpus’

With her body of work ‘Corpus’, Anastasiia Sviridenko gifts us some physical evidence of the infinite number of aspects of a body. These paintings, reliefs and branch bodies mark the mutations of our culture in the flesh of the mind-body substance, with the artist giving an analog shape to the double-sided certitude of physicality.

The bodies are displayed in an interplay with the frames of the house’s architecture built with the verticality of the surrounding trees.
