Where does the natural form begin and where does it end?

Between autobiographically influenced, phantasmagorical environments of flooded fields, forests on the side of the road, roads that lead to nowhere and places that defy spatial classification, the multimedia installation “I think I was once a Car” negotiates body representations that are influenced by the human form are detached.

Accompanied by a partly AI-generated, partly self-written text, the self alternates between machines and hybrid beings that depict the boundaries of one’s own body as fluid and immaterial: “I could take on a new shape or fall”.
