Isabel Cordeiro (PT/NL) is a visual artist working across installation and performance. In her current work she employs matter, motion and gravity, creating encounters between bodies of different materialities —human and non-human— and observing how, through touching they affect each other, changing one another. Cordeiro is in search of a methodological approach that explores how embodied knowledge is exchanged. An approach which involves creating tools that look to systematise this form of knowledge, and put it to use. Ultimately, she wishes to consider the world from a less anthropocentric position, through the lens of material relations.
