The project began in 2014 with the #Rhetorical Bodyresearch, continued in 2015 with the visual installation Rhetoric on the Web and the performance Metamorphoses 3: Rhetoric, while in 2016 it will be presented as a series of visual and sound installations as well as performances in galleries.

The gallery installation focuses on the moment of direct or indirect rhetorical effect: how words echo through space and time and how one uttered word can change the course of events, where its political power lies, what its appeal is, how it engages, how it activates. What traces does public speech leave in one’s mind, memory and subconscious reworking? And, on the other hand, what sedimentations does exploring rhetorical principles create within the artistic process itself? How does art enter the field of rhetoric, how intensely does it transform it and, especially, how is it itself rhetorised within this field?
