House of Skin

This large scale video installation is a nature morte where the camera slowly unveils different fleshy entities embedded with technology Laying in this strange land half cemetery half wasteyard obsolete mutations have been abandoned to create this new ecosystem hanging between life and death By their shapes textures and context each entity is loosely inspired by different films of Cronenberg such as The Fly Scanners Videodrome Dead Ringers The Brood Existenz and Crash The title is a reference to his film Crimes of the Future The installation is surrounded by 5 televisions lighting the room with different videos made with synthesizers Each pattern represents a manifestation of the body such as brain signals heartbeats blood etc While referencing Videodrome and the evolution of the electronic image it also suggests the idea that the body is a form of technology in itself
