Last week I showed a teaser of my video. Far from being finished, it was meant to share a current state of my work and to get into the mood ~ The event was organzed by @beautyinsciencebcn (follow on instagram) Please note that my video matched the windows randomly to a certain extent ~
My initial interest was in the historical and fictional exploration of the techniques made possible by working in cell culture lab. The possibility of cultivating living matter outside the body, modifying and combining it with the material of other species has, in my opinion, an impact on the concept of the human.That´s why I am … Read more
