Moons of Cavia: shapeshifting

FESCH.TV INFORMIERT:

In the famous words of Bruce Lee, „empty your mind, be formless, shapeless — like water“. Humans‘ brain, heart and blood are for 80 percent made of water. Humans are bodies of water. Our watery embodiment challenges the persistant humanistic view on corporeality, and instead imagines its beyond. These 4 short videos are made of documentary, essay, fantasy and footage in which the artists themselves undergo different forms of shapeshifting by making real or metaphorical journeys. Their bodies seem to travel through historical and imaginary spaces while changing their shapes and identity like water, or like moons that grow full and empty.
