This text and picture book designed by Bruce Mau reflects (with, a.o the image essay 'Stress') questions posed about pictures and concepts of the body - the body in movement. It is dedicated to dance, the experimental territory of the moving body par excellence; it explores topics such as body movement and film, choreography and spatial concepts, violation of taboos, aesthetics and violence in both the sciences and the arts, sheds light on cults and mnemonic myths as well as on the mechanical and manneristic body. ReMembering the Body explores the questions of the body´s representability at the close of the 20th century.
