Body Talk - Nives Widauer

The artist Nives Widauer lives and works in Vienna. In her works, which encompass photography, video, installation and stage design, she explores the relationships between body, nature and cultural visual worlds. For the exhibition Body Talk, Widauer brings her series of works Body Talk | Paracelsus into dialogue with objects from the collection of the Josephinum, together with the critic J. Emil Sennewald, who lives in Paris. The starting point is the human body as an interconnected system, in which physical, emotional and cultural aspects inseparably interact. Inspired by the ideas of Paracelsus, the exhibition combines contemporary art with the history of science and medicine.
