my multiple bodies

Lisa-Maria Damm

my mulitple bodies takes Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto as a starting point for the investigation of female bodies in a world of digital consumption. The performance explores the inscription of patriarchal ideas in the perception of the female body.

The artist's own body becomes the object of negotiation for the consideration of the extent to which the male gaze intervenes in perception and changes the truth about one's own body. Questions are raised about the construction of one's own body through the consumption of digital media. With the help of Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto, an imaginary space is opened up in which the female body moves between the organic and the mechanical and speaks freely of reproductive duties.

my multiple bodies is a dance-based exploration of the different levels of one's own body perception and the attempt to encounter one's own body outside the patriarchal gaze. This imaginative space is opened up by the dancing body and thus explores the sensations of desire and freedom.
Text fragments dealing with digital dysmorphia (Isabelle Coy-Dibley), among other things, are incorporated into the performance. The artist also uses her own text material, which addresses the internalization of beauty ideals that are subject to the male gaze.
Lisa-Maria Damm will present this solo work as part of the 48 Stunden Neukölln festival.
