Beyond the Body is the result of an unlikely meeting betweenTomasz Gudzowaty and Nan Goldin, who represent diametricallydifferent personalities, sensibilities, and modes of artisticcreation, yet both of whom stand behind stunningly clear,consistent visions. Goldin draws on Gudzowaty's rich archive tocreate her own narrative-detached from its original thematiccontext and purpose to form a continuous fl ow of images thatreaches a deeper, metaphysical dimension of sport. The peoplein the photographs-fl ying, fl oating, upside down-strive to escape, to liberate themselves from corporeal limitations, and to transcend their physical boundaries in order to attain a mystical state of mind. As Goldin lucidly puts it: "They are breaking the rules of how we are bound to the earth."
