HOMUNCULUS STATES 1 - 8 AND EXHIBITION VIEW

From the folklore alchemy side of the definition of Homunculus: a humanoid creature. I wanted to make a representation of a modern identity part made by itself, it's domestic surroundings and forces of digital social change. A directionless force existing between these things and moulded from them each pushing against it and suspending them in a kind of ineffective passive movement. Inspired in part by changing landscape out in the real world and the powerlessness felt in addressing them due to their fluid nature.

The Homunculus is made from 3D scans of domestic environments and the performance is motion captured from human movement.

A range of T-shirts will be launched simultaneously to the campaign going live on THE99.co.uk containing stills from the film manufactured by spreadshirt.com. They are untested or quality checked.
