Specialist-led tour through the exhibition Innocent Bodies.
The National Gallery’s video installation series continues with an exhibition of two recent films by the internationally acclaimed Polish artist Agnieszka Polska (b. 1985). The exhibition Innocent Bodies considers the vulnerability of contemporary existence at a time of radically shifting interrelationships between humans, technological systems, and the natural world. Polska is particularly attuned to the social science of affective economy: how unnatural forces and states of being reshape our bodily emotions, physiology, and consciousness. She frequently starts with found images, distorting and manipulating them, often with the use of AI technology. Ambient sound, music, and narration interlace with her poetic cinematic stories.
