H.E.A.R.T.H.

2 visitors sit in the middle of a circle of drums. Their heartbeats are monitored and amplified by the drums, creating a constantly changing polyrhythmic soundtrack until their heartbeats eventually synchronize into a single pulse.

ENTER ME TONIGHT

Enter Me Tonight (EMT) is a body of work that includes a book, performative-installations, sculptures, prints, videos which are based around a main character, DeNA. In this EMT meeting in Virtual Reality, 7 DeNAs are questioning the patronizing of human reproduction by patriarchal societies. This installation proposes an anticipative vision of the future of reproduction through economy, biology, pornography and technology. 7 DeNAs are surrounding the viewer in Virtual Reality and question his/her position on the reproductive issues, offering him/her new perspectives on the subject.
