Body x(n)
Short film
With Magdalena Jadwiga Härtelova
Berlin, 2020

Body x(n) is a short film work based on artist Magdalena Jadwiga Härtelova’s audio score of the same title. Body x(n), body in dimension yet-to-come, considers potentiality and change in relation to a body capable of becoming pregnant, to the process of abortion, and to the limits of language when it comes to the appearing and disappearing of matter. The film is a visual iteration of Härtelova’s original piece, which exists in many variations: as an audio recording, a sheet music score for words, a poem for six voices, a performance, and an audio installation.
