Power is omnipresent at every level of society. Never static, it rises and falls in societies and individuals. According to French philosopher Michel Foucault, power is ‘relational, strategic and war-like’. With the body as the subject and object of power, Monika Morgenstern explores conformity, loyalty, obedience and subservience in both the private and public domain. In Powerplay the body becomes the canvas on which power is played out through gestures, movements and apparel.
