Rectum

“I am a citizen of this world.”

Diogen of Sinope
1st sentence of the 30 Movements cycle

The body as a filter for processing the norms of civilisation. Solidarity, compassion, responsibility, equality, trust, humanity – all these concepts have their own weight, mass and consistency. Every body, big or small, strong or weak, has to absorb and process the vast universe of civilisational imperatives. Everything has to be swallowed, chewed, digested, eliminated, emptied, purified.
