In a post-human world the ability buy new body parts could be an option. Current advances in medical technology create the possibility of a post-human world and establish questions around physicality more complex. Even now new forms of bodies have been created, that cross many historical boarders that exist between the living and dead, human and animal, male and female, physical and technical and even time and space. In this work a dancer tries on for size many different types of tor torsos, some in the form of the Venus de Milo or the Venus of Willendoerf and others that are not so traditional.
