Abstract
Body Terminals refers the concept of body in the post-human context. The affirmation of the free individual in society, as acquired in modernity, has been progressively fragmented by the division of their own identity, by the division and possible transformation of the parts of their own bodies, as terminals of connection and undifferentiated functioning of their origin. The exhibition presents a group of works made between 2008 and 2022 (painting, drawing, installation, sculpture). The small bodies, situations or organs presented, are casts or references to the author's own body. These appear intersected with other media, and as a group, they present a metaphor for the fragmentation of the body itself, in its post-human condition. Body Terminals provocatively challenges the viewer to question the dematerialisation and digitization of their identity. The body it possesses is no longer enough to survive within a new civilizational order, characterized by the hybridization with the machine and the programming code, as the global matrix of the new economic and biological reality.
