Description

The fear of invisibility in our digitized world becomes a driving force for physical and choreographic questions. Over the course of this debate, »sight seeing« is confronted with what constitutes a human being and what
constitutes the inhuman. The influence of human beings on the planet has recently become more than visible so that humanity itself can be seen as a geological force. This point of view is used to destabilize the anthropocentric perspective and to conduct research into the fragility of a multi-
dimensional corporeality. In dialogue with Lynn Suemitsu, Julian Weber establishes a temporary living space which invites the spectator to engage in »sight seeing«.

An exploration of the fragility of a multidimensional corporeality.

Biographies

July Weber

July Weber (alle Pronomen) is a choreographer, performer, curator, and sculptor. Working at the intersection of choreography and visual art, July explores interactions between body, material, and movement, informed by new materialist approaches and the deconstruction of power relations between human and non-human agents. Collision functions as a central principle—both as a moment of intense encounter and as an overlap of bodies, practices, and disciplines. July presents work internationally, has received awards including the Berlin Art Prize, was invited to Tanzplattform, and founded NEW FEARS, an award-winning gallery for transdisciplinarity.
