COMING SOON- BODIES AT REST


2024
A solo exhibition by Michael Hautemulle 
Arkade Gallery, Aberdeen


Bodies at Rest delves into the complexities of rest—not just as an act of relaxation, but as a multifaceted state; stillness, recuperation, complacency, stagnation, death, all forces being enacted on a body in a state of equilibrium. The works question what it means to rest in a world where our time, our bodies, and our energy are commodified. There’s also an inherent tension between labor and love woven throughout—how laboring at something you love differs from laboring for something you love, and the toll it takes when there is no remuneration; love and labor unrequited. Where does resting become labor, or love, and when is it merely omphaloskepsis? (These are not mutually exclusive).
