TOTEM BODY is an exhibition about rediscovering the animal in human nature and celebrating our ‘creature consciousness.’ In the numinous and evocative atmosphere of the Crypt Gallery under St Pancras Church, fifteen artists explore the primal power of our embodiment as a human animal. Totems are essentially living symbols of unity and kinship, and amongst indigenous peoples they have usually been animals. The human body is portrayed in this exhibition as a totem animal in its own right–as a symbol of our unity with all other human beings, and emblematic of our common biological and mythic origins which we share with other animals.
