Taking its title from the Walt Whitman poem "I Sing the Body Electric," the exhibition sees the interrelationship between mind -body , that the body is a conduit to the outside world.

While focusing on the figure of the body within Asia, the works in the exhibition are rooted in everyday life and the sensory experiences re/constructed by an influence of nature, geography, culture, and politics. The exhibition explores various dimensions from the state of sexuality and gender, to embodiment and subjectivity, and political discourses.
