Artist Talk: Nikola Knežević

Hybrid Relationships

For Spike’s eighth artist talk at Soho House Berlin, Nikola Knežević mapped out the different agents involved in the design process, from dancers, stunt professionals and engineers to theater architectures and the weather, honing in on feedback loops between trained human bodies and non-human objects, the reshaping of which sustains embodied resilience. Followed by a Q&A with Spike Editor Christian Kobald.
