2022/23

When we talk about the "body," we refer to the physical structure of a human being.

But specifically, which body are we talking about? Are we talking about an inner body, which we feel the presence of but can only imagine? Are we talking about an external body that we see but don't fully understand? Or, finally, are we talking about a third body, one that is perceived by others?

These questions mark the beginning of Dorotea Oddo's research work, who, with the collection "Animated Matter," aims to understand and explore the "perfect mechanism" through a journey that starts from the interior and then lands on the exterior of our body.
