INTRA-Warhol: A retrospective reflection on body, space, and media through a practice-based explorative work

This chapter focuses on a retrospective reflection of the past and ongoing exploration of the relationship between body and space. Among many others, this year’s long research was initiated by a project conceived and delivered at the Flux Laboratory in Geneva in 2007. The project was centered around the multidisciplinary production titled “Trans-Warhol”. “Trans-Warhol” was primarily shaped through a choreographic piece staged by the resident choreographer, Nicolas Musin, along with the creative direction of Cynthia Odier at Flux. At that time, I was a GAI (Giovani Artisti Italiani) funded scholar, concurrently working on a practice-based experimental project that bridged architecture and dance. My sole constraint was to remain a participant observer of the work and to relate my experiment to the Flux Lab’s current production. The project utilizes both practice and its exegesis to explore the relationship between the body and space, interpreted through the lens of Andy Warhol’s work and his prophetic insights into the role of contemporary media in subsequent years.
