What are sex and the sexual/sensual body?
What is sex and body (it is an object) sexual or (is it ) sensual?
Starting from this question the artist induces the viewer to reflect by involving him in a visual experience that also becomes sensory,in search of an answer..
Jiang Feng builds his work from an ambiguity (even semantics) that, if in principle confuses, opens the door to multiple interpretations and ideas for reflection.
The synergy of the arts activates the senses by triggeringndo a process of empathetic enjoyment:the bodies dance sinuously in a chiaroscural atmosphere, they are sought, found and touched,, la music accompanies the succession of images in an emotional crescendo, a prelude to pleasure.
The body is inteor container of emotions, the skin its envelope, but also means to the achievement of pleasure until it becomes pleasure itself.
Our body is a sexual organ. Our body is our sex.
Our body is a sexual organ.
Our body is our sex.

Critical text Ilaria Giacobbi
What are sex and the sexual/sensual body? This work offers the audience empathic experiences of the tactile and aural sensation with the sensual choreography of the body and skin, re-imagining and re-defining human sexuality. What is dance? How can it be captured and appreciated in a different way? Our body is a sexual organ. Our body is our sex. 什麼是性與性的身體？這個作品期望透過視覺來激起觀眾的觸覺及聽覺等感官「聯覺」經驗，並重新想像與定義性。 什麼是舞蹈？舞蹈是否能用新的角度和觀點被捕捉與觀賞？ 我們的身體是一個性器官， 我們的身體就是我們的性。 導演 Director／江峰 Jiang Feng 身體 Body／江峰 Jiang Feng、Eugene Taylor、Joe Adia、Victor Spielberg Verdejo 攝影 Cinematography／Gabbi Hnizdo 音樂 Music／Reed Shih-Hsin Liu 劉時新 剪輯 Editing／Gabbi Hnizdo
