Eat me stems from reflections on the portrayal of female bodies in visual arts, the consumption of images in mainstream media and the sexualization of women. Starting from a fascination for the Italian expression mangiare con gli occhi (literally: "eating with the eyes", to desire, to crave), the project questions the way the body is observed, investigating the dynamics and politics of the gaze through the relationship between spectator and performer.
​The choreographic score is built starting from an everyday aesthetic, which uses the cleanliness of the gesture - doubled - and its composition, to trace a millimetric lack of randomness. The tensions, generated by the forced point of view and by the horizontal perspective, find an erotic outcome: soft shapes and weights on the floor, the curves of the two dancers stand out like dunes in a flow of postures. Images that are blatantly frontal but hidden, force us into a forced partial perspective.

Giorgia Lolli (1996) is an Italian dance artist, currently based in Finland for her MA studies in Choreography at Helsinki Uniarts. Her practice intertwines dramaturgical-choreographic research and community processes. She is currently researching the ties between feminisms and choreographic composition, moved by the politics of gaze in performance framings and the sexualized experiences of her female body.
