Body Performance, 30 November 2019 - 10 May 2020

The works of the 12 internationally renowned artists are presented throughout the spaces of the Helmut Newton Foundation as if on multiple stages, where visitors can view images of people who, in the act of performance, seem to slip into dream-like, parallel planes of reality. Within this show at the Helmut Newton Foundation, viewers encounter a broad swathe of artistic actions and performances focusing on the human body: people dress up for unconventionally staged fashion shots, they move wildly on streets and rooftops, inhabit rocks and museum spaces, and appear as dancers on and off-stage.

Role play and transgressions of physical are revealed by contemporary photographic perspectives on the most diverse visual aspects of body and space, dance and movement. In both their presentation and their reception, these images provokes questions on self-perception, the gaze of the other, identity, and emotion.
