The Body in Question(s) was produced in conjunction with creative research project that brought together contemporary dance, visual art and academic research in order to produce an innovative exhibition/performance exploring contemporary perspective of the body. The publication contains 12 essays (ranging from approximately 1200-200words each) in both French and English. The essays discuss the creative and collaborative process that went into the development of dance and visual art pieces for the exhibition/performance, as well as explore a wide range of topics related to how historic and contemporary perceptions of the body have been shaped by technology, biomedical research, and changing political and social factors.
