Body Psalms, a project to re-evaluate the body

The Body Psalms is a series of short art films that combine dance, poetry, and sculptural form, to force the body and the sacred word into the same sentence, so that the one cannot be seen without the other. These films are a celebration of the sanctity of the body through performance rituals and video sculptures involving dancers and diverse ordinary people unfolding passages of mystical texts painted on skin to create moving sculptural poetry. These are carefully choreographed art pieces combining the values of poetry, sculpture and spiritual challenge into short vignettes.In a capitalist culture increasingly governed by the ethics of pornography, where nothing is too sacred to be exploited by amoral commercial forces, the body becomes the preferred currency. Is this what we are meant for?
