Post, 2019

Performative installation, 120 minutes

“Post”, which is a new performance from their series “8”, AslieMk explores the relationship between body and architecture which is explored through human history through a posthumanist perspective. AslieMk invites spectators to their material laboratory in a distopic future and exposes a further projection of the fetish of personalization/designing which starts up from nowadays. They show an experiment of in/organic bounds that we can confront in our relationship with our living spaces and everyday objects. They carry out an experiment of hybridization of body and space by taking half dead tissues from a person’s body and transferring them to architecture.
