Partitur
“To be a body, to be here, is to be water, 75 percent, but also, it’s a constant practice.”
— Kim de l’Horizon
"Partitur" aims to provide opportunities to engage in somatic practices that prioritize perception and sensations. It approaches one’s own body in a manner that allows individuals to personally experience and gain a deeper understanding of themselves, while also serving as a form of resistance against the neglect imposed on bodies by a growth-oriented society.
Through participation in these practices, individuals can learn more about their bodies and how they relate to the world around them. This process makes their own agency tangible, empowering them to take ownership of their experiences. By placing a strong emphasis on mindfulness and situational awareness, "Partitur" aims to encourage participants to be fully present and deeply immersed in their surroundings.
The practices are designed to be decentralized and can be repeated if desired, allowing participants to engage in them at their own pace. In doing so, it creates a space where one can recognize their body as the foundation for their actions and interactions, thus challenging the notion that bodies are taken for granted, while also embracing ambivalence and ambiguity.
Tabea Merly, born 1996, studied Communication Design in Berlin and is currently finishing her Masters in Transformation Design. She is a guest student in the Art & Science department. Her projects mostly deal with socially relevant topics, although Tabea is still in the process of figuring out what that actually means. She questions a lot, but tries to find a balance and not doubt everything.
