The Fantastic Souls project envisions a hypothetical future in which
society self-destructs due to its egocentrism and thirst for power.
Unfortunately, the persistence of armed conflicts poses a grim reality, as
these ongoing hostilities continue to corrode the bedrock of civil rights for
individuals in a multitude of global regions. Armed conflicts were unlikely
to cease. Societies progressively crumbled, culminating in the extinction
of human life on Earth.
In this hypothetical future, the new inhabitants of the planet discover
artifacts that they consider relics and objects of study.
These artifacts are remnants of advanced technology from our time,
made up of mechanical parts, microchips and mound of debris that future generations
view as relics or totems. Their functionality has become a mystery
to them due to the destruction of all information and connections
that would have allowed them to understand their use.
The project aims to create these sculptural pieces using a
combination of recyclable materials, technological devices, debris,
and resines as well as a video art of each piece where the pieces come to life.
