Issue 70 - The Fragmented Body //
The
body has never been singular. It is divided by memory, shaped by
technology, marked by labour, gendered by language, racialised by
history, politicised by borders, and dispersed across digital and
physical realities. It is whole and broken at once.
The
Fragmented Body seeks to examine: The body as archive — scars,
memories, inherited histories Dislocation, exile, and displacement
Medical, mechanical, or digital intervention Prosthetics, avatars,
extensions, and simulations Surveillance and the commodified body
Psychological fragmentation and multiplicity The body in pieces:
symbolic, literal, metaphorical We welcome interpretations that are
poetic, political, intimate, speculative, or
confrontational.Haus-a-rest is an independent zine dedicated to
showcasing creative voices across the globe.

About
the work: Fragmented Cocoon
Psychological
fragmentation and multiplicity A Changed Perception of the World and
the Fragmentation of My Mind and Body Through personal struggles with
chronic mental health conditions (including neurodivergence) and
hearing problems (auditory processing disorder (APD)), I began to
build, or rather create, a kind of cocoon. To protect and shield my
body and mind, which had been fragmented by my impairments. But also
to protect myself and my social environment. I often feel as if my
mind and body are falling apart. I can't see, hear, speak, walk, or
move. That should actually be the cocoon's second function: to hold
my mind and body together. But lately, even the cocoon has often been
disintegrating.
