An exercise in Logic (If you put the bodies in the fire)
Panteha Abareshi, 2023, US, digital, 8'
Abareshi draws inspiration from their experience of being chronically ill. Their conception of the body and identity is fuelled by a genetic blood disorder that causes intense pain and increasing physical deterioration as the artist ages. Through gestures and performative actions, Abareshi explores the complexity of living with a body that is constantly controlled, scrutinised and feels like a guinea pig.
