Troubled Body explores how selfhood is constructed through repetition, ritual, and physical labor. Through ... more >> photography, drawing, tattoo imagery, and performance, the exhibition examines the body as a site where time, memory, and transformation become visible. Exhibiting artists include Elsa Chen, Steph Fethes, Rue Kim, and Petra Kruty. The artists in this exhibition address the continuous relation between the effects of time, and their own personal and bodily relationships to time through moments of introspection. In an era characterized by acceleration, digital mediation, and fragmented attention, these artists return to repetitive and time-intensive processes as a way of reclaiming bodily presence. Repetition is not merely a visual strategy but a bodily condition, a measure of time, and a ritualized form of labor.
