Based on a fictional legal system and its foundational penal code, Selin Davasse’s "Corpus Iuris Artis" unfolds as an exhibition and performance cycle in multiple iterations. In her exhibition "Corpus Iuris Artis: II. The Hearing” at soft power, the artist performatively adopts the roles of the various parties involved: prosecution and defense, interrogator and witness, jury and judge. Approaching the mechanisms and power dynamics within the art world in a humorous and self-critical tone, the project addresses issues of social responsibility, accountability and (self-)censorship – while equally nodding to the performative nature of law and the frail state of legal systems.
