Expanded Bodies
Bodies become porous in this series—stretching across materials, technologies, and shared environments. Expanded Bodies explores how embodiment is constantly reconfigured through movement, connection, and transformation, revealing the self as an evolving field rather than a contained form

Roxane Revon’s practice unfolds where living matter, memory, and time intersect, expanding the notion of the body into the slow, intricate architectures of the more-than-human world. Working across disciplines, she treats biomaterials as both collaborators and storytellers—agents that carry their own histories, rhythms, and agencies. Her pieces emerge like palimpsests, layered with traces of roots, mycelia, and bacterial growth, echoing the Earth’s own sedimentary processes. Revon’s work resonates with Lynn Margulis’s understanding of life as a planetary force, suggesting that bodies—human and non-human—co-shape the very surfaces and atmospheres through which they move.
Rather than framing the environment as a separate realm called “Nature,” Revon approaches the non-human world anthropologically and philosophically, refusing categories that distance us from the living systems we inhabit. Transparent, repurposed materials become porous membranes where human gestures and vegetal forms intertwine, expanding into ever-evolving structures. Through methodical rituals—mapping underground ecosystems, germinating seeds, photographing and sketching root patterns—she cultivates lines and textures that wander across her works like living scripts. These organic trajectories invite viewers into altered temporalities, where growth replaces fixity and transformation becomes a shared language. In Revon’s practice, embodiment stretches beyond the human frame, revealing a continuum of relations in which all forms of life participate in writing and rewriting the world.
