no body
no body
no body brings together six artists who consider how images, architecture, memories, technologies, and histories continue to occupy the present long after the people and circumstances that produced them have disappeared. Across these works, the body emerges through absence as much as through material traces: an empty room, a lingering image, or a shift in temperature suggests a presence that is no longer there. To say “nobody” is also to suggest a disregarded or perhaps anonymous person—a character, an archetype, or an identity that has been obscured or forgotten. In this exhibition, we see real and implied bodies, absent or overlooked, whose histories continue to perform and produce meaning.
