The body is seen as a reservoir of worlds, spaces, ways of existence, streams, mutations, transformations. In counterpart of the dancer’s tool-body, Good Boy play games with the idea of an apparatus-body, favored by an instrument-body, which is elevated and exaggerated by a certain kind of transgression ; a body that reveals social and moral lack, a body that states vitality and sickness. We do not know what the body is capable of. Why not starting from the beginning with the body/ Why not inventing a new articular geography? Why not inventing another organic grammar?
Explore your surface as a field of heterogeneous and independent segments. Organize relations between matters, draw spatial prolongation, excrescences, and growth. Transfer the original functions. Repeat daily gestures for it gives you imaginary obstacles. Erase the identification of contours for a better outline in others. Manufacture a useless body for it absorbs you into another status, embrace a new stature, and break the aesthetic of sculptural ideals inherited by J.J Winckelmann.
