• Shifting the axis from its human dimension, I approach cyborg narratives intertwining reality and fiction to answer the question of biological body’s obsolescence. In the video post human hybrid cities ‘lose their shroud of skin, the one that builds space-time and articulates de story parts.
• The facades melt and move, revealing a succession of changing images under their ‘skin’. The network of black strokes is like a fabric that detaches itself from the architecture, mutating as it expands, creating new territories. The buildings secrete a skin that becomes alien and drags the vestiges of the human, thus remaining posthuman.Outside the screen a glass case with a mirrored surface reflects the viewer face.
• At one point in the projection, a dimmered light causes that surface to stop reflecting the visitor and 3d printed body vestiges emerge with traces of skin, ‘exuded’ by the interface. The overall installation emphasizes the concept that the boundaries between the real and the fictional are only chimeras and there are only hybrid beings in constant change.
