background ideas

Thinking about the often bright, shiny and seductive promise of science and new technologies 'improving' nature..

In a fun way, I tried to think of creating something similar; what about trying to make cells? How does one stop them from drifting, multiplying.. they look strangely artificial but attractive at the same time

How does one prevent their accidental release?

A lot of new technologies are invisible, these were
attempts to create a visual representation

medium: series of 4 A4 size photographic prints,
reverse mounted under perspex
