Body, river, wind and trees, the fluidity of body-world relationship

AN EXHIBITION AND PERFORMANCE BY MARION DIETERLE / DOSSIER 3-D-POETRY

Marion Dieterle presents a collection of gravure prints and paintings drawn from walks, they are like a journal of sensory experiences of environmental exploration. With the means of dance and poetry, she invites these walking experiences into the space of the present moment. The artist is looking at the lived body as a being engaged both in leaping out and falling back. Through its sensorimotor surface the body projects outward to the world. At the same time it recedes from its own apprehension into anonymous visceral depths. The body is never a simple presence but, that which is away from itself, a being of difference and absence. We live in bodies beyond bodies, clothes, furniture, room, house, garden, land, recapitulating in ever expanding circles aspects of our own corporeality. The world we discover leads us to redesign the body itself.
