Embodiment

Embodiment brings together three artists—Polina Masevnina, Renata Machýčková, and Bára Tetaurová—who explore the body as a site of memory, identity, and transformation. Through diverse approaches rooted in sensory experience and personal narrative, the exhibition invites viewers to reflect on the body not as a fixed form, but as a living, expressive process shaped by emotion, culture, and myth.

​In contemporary discourse, embodiment can best be understood as the lived experience of subjectivity through the body—not merely as an object of observation or a biological apparatus. It means perceiving the body as an active participant in experience, as a medium through which we relate to the world, to others, and to ourselves. The body is not a passive vessel, but a site (or more precisely, a process) where perception, memory, emotion, and identity unfold

Together, these three artists create a space in which the body becomes a medium through which to explore identity, memory, desire, and myth. The exhibition presents embodiment as a process that is intimate, sensorial, and culturally conditioned—a dynamic that oscillates between reality and its imagined alternatives.
