body as sac (2025)

body as sac (2025)

Inspired from reading “bodies of water“ and “material feminisms“ books, with their ideas on the posthuman feminine body and theories - bodies of water, blood, milk etc. made me think about what other materials are in the posthuman body, now we’re carrying plastic and some are injecting botox and saline and other cosmetic materials. For this work I explored making bioplastic / bio-silicone to see what other sustainable materials might be used. Or, if society moved to more sustainable plastics could they dissolve before/in the body for less harm? So this is a sac (fishbowl, that ppl look at, like feminine bodies are looked at) with materiality explorations and gloopy liquids (from photos of the materials’ samples & closeup pics via a digital microscope, made more gloopy via AI) are projected into the body/bowl via another pepper’s ghost process to show movement and life in the body, whilst the petri dish samples cure / set during the duration of the exhibition …
