Biokinetics is a European project funded by the Creative Europe programme that brings together artists and organisations from Portugal, Italy and Greece to explore new artistic possibilities through the relationship between the body, movement and disability.
The exhibition accompanies the performance Nothing to Hide, on stage from 28 to 31 May at the Teatro Meridional, as part of the InArt – Community Arts Festival programme.
NOTHING TO HIDE
In the photographic series bearing the same title as the performance Nothing to Hide, the body emerges as a visible and ever-changing territory. The images reveal structures, mechanisms and connections that are usually concealed, bringing to light what sustains movement and adaptation.
Amidst metallic fragments, touch and matter, the bodies assert themselves as spaces of vulnerability, strength and interdependence, extending the visual and conceptual universe of the performance.
PIU(-)ME (FEATHERS)
Through photographs of the sculptural triptych created by Werther Gasperini, the body asserts itself not as incomplete, but as unique and in a state of constant reinvention. Drawing on the metaphor of the feather and flight, the images reflect on difference, movement and self-determination.
Between mechanics, the body and the imagination, the sculptures become extensions of strength — bodies that persist and reinvent ways of existing collectively.
VIDEO INSTALLATION
It proposes a reflection on the historical representation of disabled bodies, revisiting the imaginaries and narratives that have shaped their visibility. Through archive, image and movement, it questions the ways in which the body is observed and socially constructed.
