Reel culture does not stand still. Neither do we. We are launching The Body In REEL Time, a project that explores corporeality in the age of reels and analyzes, with irony, humor, and a critical eye, a world full of virtual dopamine and fingers tired from scrolling.
Conceived by Vlad Benescu and Alexandra Mihaela Dancs, a project of the Art No More Association, co-financed by AFCN, The Body In REEL Time is an artistic reaction to the digital consumption that consumes us and a call for awareness by questioning reel culture and transforming it into an instrument of exploration, creation, and reflection.
It is about bodies and relationships caught in the infinite flow of social networks; about authenticity and presence in a universe of absence, fragmented realities, ephemerality and superficiality, glitches, fast pace and algorithms.
From September to December 2025, The Body In REEL Time means:
- triluREELu – a choreographic-performative-multimedia puzzle show, created by Vlad and Alexandra together with video artist Alexandru Claudiu Maxim, interaction designer Cristian Iordache, musician Lala Mișosniky, and playwright Mihai Ivașcu — October 16, 25 & 26, November 26, December 11
- Let’s get triluREELu! – a movement workshop with Vlad and Alexandra where you can experience what it means to be triluREELu — September 27, 28
- Two public debates with choreographers, influencers, psychologists, and anthropologists — October 15, November 12
- A written documentary by Rucsandra Pop — December 17
- A video documentary by Vicențiu Amarandei — December 17
