Bodyscapes at The Lab

During the creation of Bodyscapes, Gaby Jonna attached a microphone to her heart area, and a second microphone to her face. Letting the rhythm and sounds of her breathing and heart rate guide her movements, Gaby allowed the body to speak for itself to then be transferred into fluid forms on a canvas. Questions surrounding what makes our bodies move and how we can expand our understanding of different forms of self different states of self are central to her work. The Bodyscapes series is a form of internal research that expands our understanding of self and other, boundaries, bodies, consent and human transformation.
