As part of our last BIO·FICTION on Tour round, we joined a thought-provoking conference organised by the Orient-Institut Istanbul, which gathered interdisciplinary and international perspectives on the topic “Upgrades of Nature, Future Bodies“.
Invited to contribute to a book based on the conference themes, Sandra Youssef and Markus Schmidt took a look through the vast BIO·FICTION catalogue of films. The resulting chapter explores how the human body and all its bits and parts, as well as corporeality are (re-)imagined and displayed on the screen.
Have a look at the chapter abstract or a glance through the entire volume – it contains chapters in German and English.
