HD Video loop installation, 2:40 mins, 2017, Germay, black and white, sound

“Many dimensions of the reality of the human existence - art, ethics,
spirituality, kindness, beauty and above all, conscience - are atributed
to the chemical reactions of our neurons
or they are only considered
manifestations of imaginary constructions. The danger lies on
reducing humans in nothing more than biological machines.”
- Dalai Lama, The Universe in a Single Atom
