In recent months, in order to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus, authorities worldwide have imposed the closure of public places with increased risk of contagion, from art museums to gym facilities, asking the population to stay home. This has contributed to the rediscovery and popularization of digital fitness training formats designed to guide movement and maintain or gain physical fitness while in isolation. Against this backdrop, FitArt appropriates the design of popular fitness apps to bring artists' works to the viewer – onto the personal mobile phone. The new workout and the in-app show aim to address issues and power structures in reference to sexuality, identity, gender, and representation of the female connoted body. It seeks to reflect on women’s experiences of their embodiment as situated and congruous to places and times, according to the advancement of society - and technologies. Taking upon the notion of “somatic society” (Bryan Turner, 2008) the show expresses the way in which the body is positioned as a site where major subjective and collective issues are expressed, problematized, and worked through, framing the female connoted body on the brink of a sacrificial

machine appointed to bear conduct and beliefs of the society to which it belongs.
