                <div class="text"><p>With photography, video, and sound Pola Sieverding (born 1981 in Germany) investigates the physical body as bearer of historical narratives that shape a contemporary discourse on the social body. By defining the body linguistically; as an alternative to words, she exploits the classical ideal of the body as locus of pleasure and power. She is attracted to extremes and socialized emotions, something felt when the body switches between looking and being looked at, touching and being touched. Her images explore the body as an expressive element, the way we alter our behavior when we feel ourselves to be acting, performing of just being. The idea of portraiture in terms of an interpretive reading of the inscriptions of culture in the human body and of architecture as a constituent stage of performing, those inscriptions is a recurring moment in her work. Pola Sieverding is a visual artist working in the field of lens-based media. She lives and works in Berlin.</p>
