Artist's Statement: "Les travaux du corps"
With the use of vitamin supplements, intense workouts, plastic surgery and the potential of future advances in genetic engineering, it is possible to dramatically improve and even re-compose the body in the future. This allows people to look toward a moment when it may be possible to alter not only the image of the body, but the personality as well. Therefore the limits of the natural body are no longer dependent on the power of personal spirit and will. We will recreate ourselves according to the dictates of our roles in life and the imagination of the mass media. These now popular ideas generate new moral and social problems. A epoch of "artificial evolution" has commenced. For further information, please contact: |
