Vortrag von Rosie Gibbens

Rosie Gibbens (b.1993, London) makes performances, videos, sculptures and photographs that feature her body. Using absurd humour, she explores the slippery overlaps between identity, labour and consumer desire. She often makes sculptures that combine household gadgets with sewn body parts. These are brought to life through low-tech chain reactions in the performances/ films. Rosie playfully blends bodies with objects to unpack and question the prospective future body as it becomes increasingly 'optimised' by technological augmentation. The mindset behind her work is of a nonsensical product demonstration combined with a perverse children's TV show.

On Wednesday, 15th of January 2025 we welcome Rosie for an evening lecture at 19:00 (location: Geleitsstraße, deparment of Graphics&Illustration, 2nd floor).

For the following workshop on 16th and 17th there are still available spots. For signing up mail to: stuermer@hfg-offenbach.de.
