Embodied Landscape
Maryam Muliaee and Naila Ansari share a follow up to their first edition of Embodied Landscape. Their multimedia production reflects on the history of Buffalo’s lost architecture: The Marble Temple. Built in 1913 for M&T headquarters, The Marble Temple was demolished in 1959 and its marble columns were partly preserved. Embodied Landscape depicts a tactile relationship between the female body and the bodies of marble stones, suggesting a meditation on the idea of architecture as event.
