Plasticus humanimalia, 2021–2023

​

Molded resin with plastic inclusions, plastic waste, electronic circuitry, iPhone 3, placed on a lightbox, 110 × 40 × 40 cm (Sculpture), 90 × 140 × 55 cm (Lightbox)

​

This sculpture depicts the skeleton of a being belonging to the fictional species Plasticus humanimalia.

​

Deformed by the repeated ingestion of plastic particles, its body has grown so heavy that it has lost its limbs and its verticality.

​

Through the transparency of the resin, the remnants of our era emerge: fragments of packaging, credit cards, and an iPhone in place of the brain.

​

Each bone was shaped through silicone and resin casting, like the fossilized trace of a humanity that has become synthetic.
