Being bodies in transformation under an imploding sky, reflecting on the mutation of the human being within complex ecologies, starting from concepts dear to eco-feminism and the theory of affects. The collective exhibition mutating bodies, imploding stars , at curated by Samuele Piazza , from 6 to 17 September 2023 in Track 2 of the OGR Turin brings into dialogue works ranging from painting to performance, from sculpture to video installation, created by Alex Baczyński-Jenkins (Poland/United Kingdom/Germany), Eglė Budvytytė (Lithuania/Netherlands), Guglielmo Castelli (Italy) and Raúl de Nieves (Mexico/United States): different media and original perspectives to create a juxtaposition between the human and the geological, in a collision between astronomical and biological time. Drawing inspiration taking its title from Songs from the Compost by Eglė Budvytytė, the exhibition considers desire and vulnerability as central factors of relationships, and embodies some research that investigates symbiosis and interdependent evolution as the foundations of new subjectivities and the rewriting of bodies.

Opening
On Wednesday 6 September the exhibition will be inaugurated with a Sound Performance by Ramona Ponzini in the spaces of the OGR Cathedral: O roshi • Asobi • Okuri is a live performance inspired by the tripartite division of traditional Japanese festivals. Like a modern sonic shamanic ritual , it has its roots in the Japanese myth of the Celestial Cave and responds to a feeling of intolerance, inviting us to "desert" a system based on oppression, destruction, violation and contamination. The sound system based on the use of voice, small percussion and vinyl is built on repetition as a ritual action, for the creation of a community that shares a profound "feeling", where delay is a tool for recovering the intensity of perception of things.
