“Where does a body end?” are the words of American recording artist Michael Gira (Swans, ex-Angels of Light) used in the documentary of the same title. This along with my fascination with physicochemical phenomena are the base of this project. 

​

However consciously complex, the human body is a physicochemical object. The human body, flesh, is simply a cluster of atoms. Human voices / words are sound waves transmitted through particles of air. We affect the world through changes, like own steps, voice or the creations of physical objects.

​

And the opposite. The human body is affected by the surroundings, natural forces or landscapes; be it subtle waves or radiation or mechanical influences. Only through the physicochemical forces that strike the human body, can we sense and feel. In other words - perception, consciousness and psychology do not exist without the body.

​

“Where Does A Body End?” is a reflection over continuity of matter as complex physio-chemical to non-physical interaction, randomness of existence and the selectivity of matter. From the fascination of dark, void spaces between matter - to the movements of atoms and their connection to human experiences.

Ashes are the simplest form of the end and beginning of the life-cycle, and also remnants of volcanic activities being one of the reasons for geological landscape formations.
