DON'T TRY TO SLEEP THROUGH THE END OF THE WORLD
2023
Aiming to imagine intimate moments in a future where digitalization and nature are intertwined, the series follows the colorful journey of X: a fragmented cyborg avatar and freshly materialized citizen of the Metaverse, beginning their exploration of the alien terrains of a thousand digital realms.
Their damaged appearance (a result of their deleted default clothing revealing an unfinished form once separated from their assigned appearance) alludes to Cyborg theory’s notion of a fractured identity as the result of a consciously constructed self.
Emboldened and curious despite their incomplete form, X’s journey is soft and playful, documenting the simple pleasures found on the path of identity and digital reconstruction. What kind of worlds of the future post-digital age might we imagine, and how will they look once we build them?
