Studien der Übungen

Video installation, currently consisting of five video loops, since 2024

The installation examines how physical culture shapes and constrains the body, from nationalist gymnastics and modern fitness rituals to the subtle regimes of self-optimization. Yet repetition also becomes a site of refusal: gestures slip, slow, exaggerate, falter, become absurd. The body resists its own choreography, queering ideals of strength, purity and control.
