MARCEL/A-A journey of digital introspection and relief Part 1 and Part 2

My work is located at the intersection of postgenderism and transhumanis and it was mainly intended as a personal journey informed by the constraints of my own body and mind.

I create instinctive and poetic 3D rendered animations with variations of myself as enhanced, self made and evolved digital beings for the purpose of taking distance from my body and my experience of depression, gender dysphoria and chronic illness in order to achieve introspection and relief.

I approach my work in a therapeutic way, while portraying the idea of rejection and acceptance of certain anatomical body parts through the animated extrusions that signify my own body’s discomfort but I also investigate the possibility for self-acceptance and reconciliation of mind and body.

By creating this virtual re-worlding and re-embodiment I am also looking to challenge the need for physical presence in a world that is increasingly experienced online.
