It consists of a fragile display system which call to mind the human remains and archaeological finds. The making of the elements built by hand in a combination of metal, foam, plaster, latex, and wire creates materializations of sculpturally blurred, disfigured forms. The cast of both the skin and the face thus becomes an object. The whole a quasi-body, motionless.

The quasi-archaeological artifact is radically brought into focus, while the sound and video are in the background indicating the disturbing impression and relation between human or inanimate, working even as sonorous artifact. Thus, it remains completely visible.

It is an installation that uses sculptural elements on a human scale made by means of molds taken directly from my body, handmade with plaster bandages and silicone, to derive latex casts. Wood, foam, stucco and wire shape the pedestal, edited and processed sound -a post-human voice- and video create the immersive experience.
