1-Carcinogenesis

Exploring the big amount of introjected notions, being aware that the assimilation of different external elements lead to a non-organic and layered image of ourselves, all of this gives the possibility to perceive ourselves in different ways, materials and state of matter. If the formed image does not harmonize with our material status of bone and flesh, one can perceive himself through every kind of matter.

Cell division is a process that occurs almost in all human tissues. Normally there is a balance between proliferation and programmed cell death. DNA mutations disrupt these regulative processes between the life cycle of the cells. The result is an uncontrolled cell division and their evolution by natural selection. This image, on the initial part of the series, starts developing the theme of our own proprioception and the formation of the mental image of ourselves.

The face is impressed three times on the same frame in narrow positions, giving the idea of a dynamic but more and more chaotic motion. The result in this chaotic mitotic process is a discordant system made of variations of the same starting element, different mental images of ourselves that stop the system from being organic and coherent. The lack of coherent informations starts to be problematic when the comparison between mental image and exterior appearance occurs.
