Vernissage - Zufall als Absicht

"The body is a machine of desire." — Deleuze

“Human gestures are a fundamental form of communication. A way to express ourselves, forge relationships, and reveal the fragility of identity.

But how does the gesture survive, and how is it transformed by the integration of our bodies into the machine?

I have been exploring this question since the early 1990s. The metaphor of the body—whether social, political, or even biological—is present in my work. A vision of the intervened body.

How are our identity, authenticity, and privacy being redefined?

The “Hybrid Bodies” series explores the layers of our human and non-human experience of gestures. Chinese ink drawings are processed by artificial intelligence, and I use the results to create collages from fragmented, intervening layers.” – Alejandro Scasso

Alejandro Scasso, born in Buenos Aires in 1964, has lived and worked in Cologne for over 30 years.
