Corpo a Corpo

by Jacopo Jenna

Corpo a Corpo is a bedroom duet in 11 shots.The work has been developed as a sort of choreography in a specific number of photographic shots in a single place. For this hypothetical duet two dancers have been used making them dialogue in the space exclusively engraving thought through their bodies, their movements and their postures without disclosing the face or giving a clear somatic representation of their identities, but aiming only the attention at the anatomical language, on their being body.Through their nudity (paraphrasing the philosopher Jan-Luc Nancy) they are exposed as image and they transfer every arcane depth on the bodily surface because "the world is composed really of surfaces on surfaces", of bodies on bodies.From Jan-Luc Nancy:“Naked body, it is him, it is her, here is the nude, the naked one, here is the dawning body, the body in anendless squirt, body that draws near, next, imminent but fleeing body, in itself subtracted to your taking. Your look doesn't grab it, it is him to appropriate of you, it is its sign, his attended, its being late or ahead of its unity of person, of individual or of subject. Not personal body, not individualized, transversal body crossed by all the nudities.”
