Incarnation
Imaginary Notions of the Human Form

Incarnation was a group exhibition exploring imaginary notions of the human form, presented with H+ Creative and curated by Hannah Stouffer. Works were shown on Luma Canvas LED displays.

Curatorial statement

The representation of the human form, the mortal body and qualities of the flesh have been transcribed across countless mediums in an array of visual configurations through time. In the present day, a creative interpretation of incarnation is often conveyed in a paradoxical approach from the word's original meaning. The work of artists in the digital realm explores this embodiment with glimpses of human qualities, often communicated through abstracted imagery, otherworldly bodies, spiritualization and disembodiment. Physical forms that we can identify as ‘being human’ are introduced in new arrangements with differing viewpoints in sexuality, spirituality and perceptions of the physical body. Contrary to the archaic definition of incarnation, ‘to take on flesh’, the limitlessness of material, texture and thought give new meaning to the possibilities a fleshy form can take.
