SKIN FLICK, Adham Faramawy (2019)
Porous Bodies
A series of events devised by Adham Faramawy to complement his Near Now Fellowship research.
Adham has devised a selection of films that undermine the idea of the human body as a singular entity, exploding the idea of the body as a discreet biological category. Sometimes literally.
These screenings and accompanying events complement Adham's current research and artistic practice. They present a variety of often problematic approaches to the body, exploring perspectives that reframe the body as a plastic process, porous and adaptable, denaturalised, magic, science-fictive and miraculous.
