While inverting the optics of cultural anthropology, the artist presents a range of objects such as aids for bodily stimulation and for burning fat as parasites coexisting with the remains of organic elements. In this situation, the living and the human recede into the background and become subject to the demands of the products. These are emancipated as the main entities of a “narrative” in which new ethnographic systems and relations are formed. This odyssey forms a comprehensive environment (an Environment for Acts) and opens references from both parts of the timeline – from archaic mythology to the very real context of the contemporary world.
