Monstrum

Monster, 1992, 2min film, figur som vaknar till liv med sniglar.

 

Černický creates a homogeneous Archimboldian idea of people composed of other bodies. However, I cannot conceal that I am closer to the transformations of the human being as presented by Donna Haraway, which are filled with understanding and admiration. Nevertheless, we show you this work because it presents a futuristic idea of two animal entities combined into one organism. At the same time, this entity is also connected to the author’s desire to use technology to realize a monster that we could relive. This reliving of the monstrous is as much a dangerous idea as it is an unsuppressed human need to experience (safe) terror.
