Der er heller ikke meget far, mor og børn over fotoudstillingen Berliner Fleisch, som Warehouse9 for nylig viste. Fotografen Johanna Jackie Baier har igennem et par år indfanget livet blandt transseksuelle prostituerede i bordellerne og på gaden i Berlin. Hun betegner loyalt sig selv som »one of the girls«, for hun er ligesom sine modeller transseksuel og arbejdede også selv en periode på bordel. Den intime indsigt i denne verden langt, langt fra IKEA-livet rammer rent i hendes portrætter, og billederne kunne dårligt have været vist et mere oplagt sted i København end her et skridt fra Skelbækgade og Victoriagade, hvor gadeprostitutionen efter 10 års eksil i andre områder er vendt benhårdt tilbage. Hendes billeder fanger ikke bare det helt tvetydige køn og den særegne skønhed hos mange transer, men også den uforklarlige blanding af styrke og skrøbelighed, glamour og trash. Først og fremmest udstråler alle disse væsner værdighed, noget som langtfra altid gør sig gældende i tidens nyfigne dokumentarisme, som kan nærme sig det pornografiske. Mange af de transseksuelle har faktisk været så glade for billederne, at de i dag bruger dem som reklame. En interessant drejning for kunsten. (Heidi Laura, in: weekendavisen, 2007)

THE PROJECT |
| For a period now, I’ve been studying and working on ‘forced movements’ in live-art and in photography. It’s a study of how a seemingly relaxed body can be manipulated , moved and frozen by an outer force.
How it can be moved and stretched into different forms and shapes. Seeing how this will resolve into the movement it has to make and the result of the images at the end. |
|
| How does a body move and freezes as it’s been pulled, pushed and restrained in different ways?
In this way I want to create non-natural forms and images. To do so, I want to work on a double project; a liveperformance and a serial of photographic images. Niko Raes 2009 ARTIST WEBSITE www.bodyrefuse.be |

WORKSHOPS (Part 1-3) |
| In these workshops I want to give people the opportunity to experience and learn about performance, endurance, perception and self-control. It will be a search on how to know your own body and how to use it as a medium, on how a body in distress can be beautiful and how these contradictions can work.In each part we will be working with different themes (as listed below). | |
| These themes will be a guideline we use in exercises and performances in front of the camera and your co-participants, who will generate as an audience. Every workshop will be documented and at the end of the series, every participant will receive a dvd from the workshop(s) they were in. | |
