If we can see our body as a space for negotiating social issues and artistic tools in relation to the other, what is the potential of the body? What does it mean to inhabit our nomadic body in a contemporary society?
The Bliss Collective aims to conduct research on nomadism as a discourse through this residency, applying Deleuze's theory of "becoming" to the fragmented body and sensations in the paintings of Francis Bacon.
For Deleuze, nomadism is a philosophical problem-setting against settlement, possession, exploitation, and the domination of identity. It is a way of living that confronts the power that captivates our bodies and lives, creating a new creative life. In this sense, it is simultaneously ethics and politics, a way of life and a method of thought.
We seek to expand the value and meaning of our existence as nomads by not limiting our bodies to a single identity but through the combination with heterogeneous subjects.
