Chora, 2015

Inspired by Julia Kristeva’s concept of Chora—the psychosexual stage closest to pure material existence—this work reimagines Chora as a technological rather than solely biological organism. It envisions human and artificial forms living symbiotically within one another.

By merging the artist’s body with latex, a skin-like synthetic material, the work blurs the boundaries between flesh and technology. This fusion explores the limits of pure materiality, revealing how both human and artificial “organisms” share enduring needs: connection, breath, and life-sustaining exchange.

Chora unfolds as a meditation on coexistence, dependence, and the fragile interface where the organic and the mechanical entwine.
