Summary:
"Bodyline" is a visual essay on the human body, approaches its subject in a spirit both playful and seriously experimental. Organised by themes in turn figurative and abstract, organic, and mechanical, immaterial, "Bodyline" contains not one predictable image of the body. Instead it uses diffracted views to conjure seven alternative visions of the flesh in the age of(...)

Summary:
"Bodyline" is a visual essay on the human body, approaches its subject in a spirit both playful and seriously experimental. Organised by themes in turn figurative and abstract, organic, and mechanical, immaterial, "Bodyline" contains not one predictable image of the body. Instead it uses diffracted views to conjure seven alternative visions of the flesh in the age of meta-mechanical reproduction, reconstructing the human physique by means of synthetic images, clothing patterns and technical blueprints. As such, "Bodyline" is a much about perception and delineation as it is about the body. The book is devided into three chapters loosely based on Robert Hughe's "Nothing if not critical". Here, through, the original categories are reversed : "Ancestors" explores the latest paradigms of virtual bodies, the computer-generated meshes of the gaming industry, which are also figurative; "Moderns", which constitutes the book's central exploration, features twentieth-century micro-narratives of pattern and garnment in which the body is already all but unrecognisable; and "Contemporaries" celebrates the reflections of self-portraiture through the projective network of Mongean geometry. The seven images of the body contained in this book - "Ectopic birth" (Nazila Maghzian), "How tall am I?" (Sharon Givony), "Vital points" (Eiichi Matsuda), "Inside out" (Kun-Min Kim), "Growth and decay" (Lawrence Ler), "Tiny deaths" (Carolin Hinne) and "10 years after" (Ema Bonifacio) - are accompagned by concise, literary texts.
