Corpo dopo Corpo

Kidnapping runs through history as a dark constant, where economy and violence merge into a single brutal logic. Corpo dopo Corpo explores what happens when this act stops being tactical and becomes a political languag a display of domination.

Kidnapping is an act that runs through history like a dark constant, a practice in which economics and violence merge in a brutal calculation. But what happens when kidnapping ceases to be a simple tactical tool and transforms into a political language and a spectacle of domination?

This research stems from a temporal and geographical paradox: the idea that a limited phenomenon like post-unification brigandage can influence the logic of organized violence in 21st-century global capitalism.

Through a visual narrative, the work aims to trace a critical genealogy of kidnapping as a hybrid technology, to drop anchor in the ocean of gore capitalist discourse.

The central hypothesis is that kidnapping, from a rudimentary guerrilla tactic, has evolved into a sophisticated weapon of global communication, in which the spectacular value of violence surpasses and replaces its strategic military value. Brigandage, from this perspective, ceases to be a historical artifact and becomes a lens through which to observe the pathologies of the present.

The solution to violence and suffering lies in a corporal politics according to which our bodies are vulnerable and interconnected. For this reason, my work enters this debate as a critical practice, aiming to transform trauma into a collective discourse.
