Dominika Trapp: Dazed and Orthorexic

ZÖNOTÉKA, BERLIN (DE)

The strive for physical and spiritual well-being is a binding force in our alienated society.
There are various recipes on how to stay balanced and take ‘care of the self’,
weaving a maze of numerous principles on what is regarded healthy, pure and natural.

The room installation Dazed and Orthorexic by Dominika Trapp depicts the struggle
for self-therapy and stability that are achieved by means of a strict, calculated control
over everyday nourishment. While pursuing a quest for self-liberation through asceticism,
eating becomes a chore, a continuous, mechanical digesting of what is thought to be
‘right’ and ‘good’, rather than ‘tasty’ or ‘pleasant’.
Trapped in a bubble of paradoxes: What was considered healthy bears a deathly disease,
the appetite for purity turns into a paranoid anxiety. The resulting obsession and distorted
self-image spreads over the entire environment.

In the framework of Project Space Festival Berlin 2015.
