Synopsis

This is a world where things mix and intermingle, where nothing stays in it’s place. It is a world where animal, plant, machine and human unite and commingle. We have to ask ourselves, if it is so hard to figure out where one thing starts and another ends, can we really continue to believe in the barriers that separate us.
In a world where the cultural and the natural – the technological and organic – are ever more intermingled, this wilderness is my symbolic representation of a place where technology has become so natural that it takes on a life of it’s own.
