NoBody
Two Person Exhibition
NoBody is a two-person exhibition created by Dar San Agustin and Valeria Costa. Each work considers the body as a vessel shaped by violence. Objects stand in as the subject, absorbing harm, desire, and labor over time. Bodies are stripped of anatomy and rendered into non-form, altered beyond their original function.
Transformation is not offered as resolution, but as a process that leaves residue. Violence operates materially through acts of containment, repetition, staining, encasing, and piercing. These gestures function as evidence of what bodies are forced to carry.
The exhibition holds tension between transformation lived within the body and transformation externalized through objects. Nobody asks what happens when bodies are made to contain more than they should, and what it costs to keep holding. The work does not resolve this overflowing loop. Survival here is cumulative and uneven, marked by continuous damage. The body persists in alteration, reduced to the container. Is it still a body?
