The Body is a Big Place by Helen Pynor and Peta Clancy is a new media commission exploring the fluidity between bodily boundaries inherent to the organ transplantation process, the ambiguous boundary between life and death, and the complex and multilayered responses reported by organ transplant recipients.

Two performances featuring the reanimation of a pair of fresh pig hearts will be held at approximately 3pm on Tue 8 and 5pm on Mon 21 of November, during the exhibition.
