THE PHYSICAL ACTION SYSTEM AND PRACTICE MODE









The process of violently penetrating the human body seems to be undetectable and gentle, but in fact, it confounds the terrifying act by interjecting the human body as an object and palsying the person.

In this project, I want to discuss the violent ways we interject and control the bodies, through the lens of contemporary consumer culture and postmodern theories. The process of violently hacking into the human body seems to be undetectable and gentle, but in fact, it confounds the terrifying act by interjecting as an object and palsying the target, causing us to change and shape the body based on our self-planning. On the other hand, we are also mired in the question of how we should control our bodies:

Does the so-called self-planning depend on our free will or is it implanted by the consumerist ideology? Without a doubt, the more we can control and change the restrictions of our body, the less sure we are about what constitutes our body and about what are its natural characteristics.

In the meantime, in the consumerist society, we face the new dilemma of our bodies: on the one hand, the contemporary society liberates the constrictions and concealments of our bodies; on the other hand, the consumer culture's legitimation and generalization of beauty standards unavoidably cause the oppression of and violence towards the body.

To some extent, the history of the human body is a history of metaphors for social power relations. My work seeks to discuss how the contemporary body breaks the balance of the past and creates a new balance, how is the body influenced and colonized by the consumer culture, and how it forms a new symbiosis with its invaders.
