AN ODE TO MY BODY (2023)
Communitas - Nora Lezano (translated)
“The body is the result and testimony of all its operations - gone through or not - past and present.
Mass in transit and at rest.
As a whole or in parts it is weighted, valued, divided, named, known, ignored, recovered, represented, loaded, and unloaded with things, fluids, knowledge, ideas, and symbols. We place it -or it is placed- in the real world and in the ideal.
It stops, sits, moves, and dies. It stays, it comes, and it goes. We medicalize it, we drug it, we abandon it, we recover it, we lose it, we biologize it, we naturalize it, we fictionalize it, we count it, we weigh it, we fatten it, we lose it, we operate on it, we cut it, we add and disaggregate it, we deliver, we release it, we slow it down, we speed it up, we ask for it, we imagine it, we speak it and make it speak, we squeeze it, we hydrate it, we forget it, we dance it and we make it dance. It is present. It is absent. It is.
How is the truth demonstrated? Build or left? Do we impose ourselves on the body or does it impose itself on us?”
