We are pleased to announce Naomi Lulendo’s participation in the collective exhibition “STATES OF REBIRTH: Body images in motion” at Deichtorhallen Hamburg, curated by Nadine Isabelle Henrich, opening on 21 February 2025 and on view until 17 August 2025.

This exhibition STATES OF REBIRTH examines the correlation between the body, movement and societal structures in physical and digital spaces, through a focus on documentary and conceptual projects in contemporary Performance-, Portrait and Dance-Photography.

As a choreography – of photographs concerning of the relationship between bodies in motion – this exhibition explores how our attitudes, gestures and affectations at once reflect, configure and transform how we negotiate societal change. In particular, how our normative, algorithmic visual culture – and its discerning, deriding gaze – is visible in our restless bodies: how they move; how they slouch, grope, evade or repell; how they sink; or how they stand tall; suppose a gesture, strike a pose; how they influence and reflect each other; how they grasp for connection.
