ABOUT 'THE HUMAN HUM'

Eixenberger creates complex worlds in which bodies engage with the structures that hold social life in the era of global techno-capitalism.

Rather than approaching these structures through abstraction, his films, installations, sculptures and performances turn towards the intimate terrain of human emotions examining its value and inevitable rebellion as it comes into contact with ideological and physical structures embedded in technology.

Particularly these, shaped by the myth of technological superiority which is the idea that we can become independent from the physical world.

His work seizes the points where emotions falter, push back, or find new forms in the face of such forces.

Drawing on collages of archival performance scripts that open up bodily memory and intuitive interaction and sculptures that materially and phenomenologically enact physical engagement with their environment, Eixenberger’s works place the body as a political site at their core, aiming to overcome the separation of body and mind historically so prevalent in the christian hemisphere.
