Me at the epicentre of the world. I look confidently outwards. Verticality and hierarchy constitute my presence in the body. What happens if I step out of my epicentre and go beyond it?
‘Besides Me’ answers this question by taking a critical look at the relationship between the subject and everything that lies beyond it. With ‘Besides Me’, the body questions its habits, its unique point of view, its own security, in order to go beyond its own core and enter into a relationship with something outside itself. Following a path between the centre and the unknown, in ‘Besides Me’ we investigate the way from a unitary body to a rhizomatic, horizontal and a-hierarchical body. Breaking habits and physical structures, other paths, lives, situations and a multiplicity of bodies appear in space.
I leave my centre to be with others. I go beyond myself to be with what is with me.
