'by measure, i mean the way that i understand or relate to the world. it is a constant effort for me to be in my body. contemporary culture has had a severing effect. our exploitation of the environment is just an extension of how we exploit our own bodies. it is very easy to treat one’s own body like a machine, or as a mere vehicle of the mind. emotions are first felt within the physical body, but because of our mental fear of dealing with our emotions, we cut ourselves off from the body. i think our memories are held in our bodies, and they get locked in there. sometimes the only way to retrieve them is through the body. the more I listen to the way my body reacts to the world, the more it changes the way I live my life. i guess i have come to trust my body more than my mind because it doesn’t play tricks on me.' --janine antoni
