Disconnection

@loverbuffet

A series about dysphoria by Berlin-based artist Lover Buffet.

With this series, Lover Buffet (they/them), aims to tell a story of someone who is called by their body and tries to disconnect further. 

Since exploring bodywork therapy, I started to realise just how disconnected from my body Iā€™ve felt. Most days I am a pair of eyes or a head, and everything else is in another world below me. Iā€™m sure depression and anxiety play their cute roles in why I try to run away from my body, but I think the ideal of physical androgyny expected from non-binary people has something to do with it too. Iā€™ve struggled to join my body to this ideal. In my own experience of wanting to disinherit the parts of myself that are considered feminine, Iā€™ve tried to remind myself that my reality and my own expression of androgyny is enough. I donā€™t have all the answers, but if anyoneā€™s feeling a similar way, Iā€™d love to share our experiences.
