embodied art practice

Embodied art practice involves artists using their own physical presence, movements, and sensations as integral parts of creating and experiencing art. It emphasizes the connection between the body and artistic expression, often exploring how physicality, spatial awareness, and personal experience influence the artwork. This approach can include performance art, body-based installations, or improvised movements, encouraging a direct, visceral engagement with art. By prioritizing lived bodily experience, embodied art dissolves traditional boundaries between artist, audience, and artwork, fostering a deeper, more visceral understanding of human presence and sensation.
