Human Suit

Description

A reinterpretation of the concept of the “Human Suit” presented in artist Man Yu’s exhibition, through an existential reflection on the relationship between body and spirit, but from a transhumanist and techno-ethical perspective. The idealization of appearance, the manipulation and glorification of the body, and a return to the essence.

The work consists of a video mapping installation projected onto one of the paintings in the exhibition and an interactive experience using an augmented reality app.
