Bodies and Creation: How we Perceive our Concepts

Title

Bodies and Creation: How we Perceive our Concepts

Creator

Ntanas, Stavros

Abstract

A bunch of drawings will be presented, most made by me, but some made by my friends. Each drawing is a body that has been drawn to represent either a vague word such as “void” or “desert” or the bodily representation of an instrumental music track. All of the drawings were made either by stimuli given from me to my friends or words they gave to me, and I had to give them a body. It is a project made to challenge anthropocentrism and post-humanism, and examine how we as people perceive the world around us, including our own concepts.
