When The Body Stops Supporting Itself

The body knows how to project an image; it’s trained for it. When it stops doing so, nothing more interesting emerges; it simply begins to falter. The gesture loses its meaning, no longer correcting anything, no longer trying to look good. It’s noticeable when it stops thinking abouthow it looks, when it no longer anticipates, when it simply happens and can’t manage to organize itself. At that point, the body becomes clumsy, contradictory, unable to find its footing, even within itself. It’s not a transformation or a more honest version; it’s a moment when it can no longer sustain what it was projecting. And when that happens, what remains isn’t a well-crafted image, but someone who can no longer hide within it.
