BODYSSEY was my first exploration of MRI images. My fascination with the technology of the machine and its images served as the starting point for my project. It emerged through a dialogue with my body and opens up an in-between space between the inner and outer worlds.

Specifically, I worked with my own material from several medical examinations and translated it into a multimedia format. BODYSSEY moves along the membrane of this in-between space, within a continuum of the mutual interpenetration of isolation and confinement, fusion and dissolution.

BODYSSEY IV, Installation, linocut/foil/video/sound: Sula Bassana, 2023

Together with the trio BASSANA, MODDROW, SOBOTTA (Sula Bassana, Steffen Moddrow, Ulli Sobotta), we designed a space in which visual art and live music were directly intertwined. The musical performance and the artistic works came together simultaneously and influenced the perception of the entire space. This created a shared spatial and sensory experience in which the exhibition and the concert merged into one another.
