The exhibition shows sculptures and objects which explore the possibilities of extending and imitating the human body, for example by means of prostheses, instruments or tools. The artists deal with social questions about the corporeality of belonging, memory, (sub-)consciousness and death. The show invites visitors to perceive and activate their own bodies in relation to the artworks and the space by moving through labyrinthine installations or gates and openings in individual works. Rituals of wrapping and expanding the body are thus made physically tangible.
