The low hum of inner workings is a translation of the body beyond biological entity. This body is a living archive, layers of growth and decay in constant flux. Each day, skin is shed and renewed, hair grows and tangles with time. The slow drip of milk, blood, tears and sweat punctuate each passing moment. Inside this body, memory ferments. It lingers in the weight of our limbs, in the way breath slows at night, in the warmth we leave behind on a chair, a bed, on another person’s skin.
An inhale and an exhale. The low hum of inner workings.
This space moves with us. It expands and contracts like a lung, responding to presence. This body is a site of ritual—braiding hair, painting symbols on her skin, whispering songs into the wind. Every gesture translates something deeper, an attempt to preserve, to connect, to exist beyond the self.
Over the past six months, five interdisciplinary artists have joined forces to build a space which has a life of its own, a collective body as a place to never be alone. With works by Gamze Öztürk, Renske de Jong, Alicia Kemp, Tirza Mafi and Anna Reutinger.
