The visual essay “The Timeless Morphs” 3 Body Sessions” proposes the physical body as a processual, non-linear, and moving archive. With which remembering is a timeless tool to liberate the disciplined, to empower the powerless. In the act of storytelling, the visual essay will be followed by a public gym session.
