(last edited: 2025)
author(s): Irina Degtereva
This exposition is in progress and its share status is: visible to all.
This research explores how the performing woman’s body oscillates between control and vulnerability, subject and object, agency and submission. The project reconsiders the body as a tool of both artistic and political expression, asking who holds the right to “play” it and at what cost. Drawing on feminist performance practices, the research reflects on the tension between using one’s body as a medium and being used through it.
