In my work, I explore how collective body images emerge, examining performative paradigms and choreographic structures that I encounter in my everyday life. At the moment, I am interested in the ambivalence of vulnerability: for a long time, I associated the concept of vulnerability with positive connotations, seeing it as a sign of openness, permeability, and the ability to be touched by others. Since images of injured or even dead bodies have been appearing more and more in my everyday life, I have been questioning this understanding of vulnerability: Who can afford to be vulnerable? And how does an open, permeable body differ from a wounded body?
