Fluid Anatomies and Technological Alterities. On Postanatomical Aesthetics in Contemporary Performance Art
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This study seeks to examine postanatomical aesthetics in contemporary performance art by shedding light on its contribution to the new materialist debate on human and technology intra-actions. To this end, we highlight the influence of cyberfeminism, phenomenology and feminist queer discourse on the artistic representation of (techno)corporeality. The work of four artists will be presented: Isabelle Van Grimde, Jaime del Val, Marco Donnarumma, and Margherita Pevere. The paper demonstrates how their artistic practices provide an anti-normative representation of bodies, while suggesting a horizon for rethinking body politics.
