Boundless Flesh — HONGRU ZHANG

“Boundless Flesh” is about the gradual and inevitable takeover of the human body. Bones, skin and form are changing in an inseparable whole, where each has its own beauty, but the indivisibility of the process makes its beauty apparent. The piece brings up the question of vulnerability and strength, where bones are giving support and skin answers with movement. This tension is between the idea of fixity and becoming. The body is not stable, it is always becoming. With that in mind, the piece questions what is it that we become and how can we withstand?
