#FEELME

This work focuses on disconnection between bodies and their environment. Large printed scarves hung in the gallery space show anonymous digital bodies that have become detached from their personalities. Following on the invitation for this exhibition, Bax reshaped the 2019 work #feelme. In this work Bax observes how the body is displayed on social media like Instagram and reduced to a marketing tool that serves the mind. What does it mean to position a body on a digital platform and let go of its ownership? Her installation invites us to reconnect with our and other bodies and experience ourselves again.
