Surface // Hysterical Bodies

SUPERFICIE.
Il progetto SURFACE è stato ispirato dalla domanda posta nell'antologia Thinking Through the Skin: "come la pelle diventa, piuttosto che semplicemente essere, significativa".
Questa domanda suggerisce che la pelle debba essere letta per produrre il suo significato.
Differenti letture producono significati diversi. Nell'attuale cultura del consumo, in particolare la pelle delle donne
viene letta come qualcosa che ha bisogno di essere ringiovanita e corretta artificialmente, come a sostenere che la sua morbidezza (liscità) sia un indicatore di genere e quindi nascondere i segni della pubertà, dei cambiamenti ormonali, del parto e dell'invecchiamento.
SURFACE è la lettura della pelle di Zuhra Hilal

"Corpi isterici"
- Attraverso l'arte e la ricerca, intendo mostrare che un corpo diventa "isterico" quando:
a) Il corpo è alterato - Questo si verifica quando un corpo è letteralmente fatto per essere altro, e voglio esplorare come ciò avvenga non solo attraverso sistemi di oppressione, ma anche tramite le strutture religiose. In questo senso, i santi e le figure sacre si estendono (diventando "altro") al regno del sacrosanto. L'azione è quindi quella di 'isterizzare' [sic.] i corpi.
b) Quando il corpo è colpito dalla realizzazione di "sé" come altro. Questa idea è fortemente idescritta da Bell Hooks nella sua "Estetica dell'oscurità" in cui dimostra splendidamente la realizzazione del corpo come altro, attraverso luoghi e sistemi di cultura che sono fondamentalmente in contrasto con la vita delle minoranze.
L'azione in questo caso è sul "corpo istericizzato"

SURFACE.
The project SURFACE has been inspired by the question posed in the anthology Thinking Through the Skin: “how skin becomes, rather than simply is, meaningful”.
This question suggests that skin must be read in order to produce its meaning. Different readings produce different meanings. In the current consumer culture, especially women’s skin is being read as something in need of being artificially rejuvenated and corrected, so as to uphold the smoothness as a gender marker and conceal the signs of puberty, hormonal changes, childbirth and aging.
SURFACE is Zuhra Hilal’s reading of the skin
ZUHRA HILAL (b. 1989 in Kabul) lives and works in Copenhagen. She is educated in fashion design at Akademie JAK in Hamburg. Through installations, performances, videos, and poster art she challenges the perception of women and their sexuality in society.
Zuhra has exhibited her work at Kreativikum Eilbek in Hamburg, Kunstverein Heidelberg, and most recently at Kunstnernes Efterårsudstilling 2017 in Den Frie Udstillingsbygning in Copenhagen. She has also disturbed the Berlin Fashion Week 2015 with a guerilla performance, and in 2017 her work was mentioned in the 2nd edition of the book Vulva by the German journalist and culture historian Mithu S. Sanyal.

"Hysterical bodies’
— through art and through research, I intend to show that a body becomes ‘hystericised’ when:
a) The body is othered — This occurs when a body is literally made to be other, and I want to explore how this occurs not only through systems of oppression, but also religious structures. In this sense, saints and holy figures become othered into the realm of the sacrosanct. The agency here being on the ‘hystericiser’[sic.] of bodies.
b) When the body is struck with the realisation of ‘self’ as other. This idea is heavily informed by Bell Hooks’ ‘Aesthetic of blackness’ where she beautifully demonstrates the realisation of the body as other, through locations and systems of culture which are fundamentally at odds with the lives of minorities.
The agency here being on the ‘hystericised body’
Anietie (b.1996) is a London based artist of Afro-Caribbean descent with a theory-based practice.
Classically trained in fine art before attending Oxford University to read History of Art, he has experience in undertaking commissions and self-curated projects in traditional media including etching, oil-painting, and illustration.
His exposure to critical theory and time based media during the middle of his academic studies and residence in Venice during the 2017 Biennale, transformed his artistic practice, pushing it to become one that is critical. Anietie continues to experiment with the ways in which a dialogue exists between art theory and practice
Currently he is exploring the theme 'hysteria' using Deleuze's ideas presented in his 'Logic of Sensation' (1969). From this, he investigates the 'hysterical' to examine the means by which the body escapes itself through interdisciplinary fine art media.
