LIMBO AESTHETICS
Limbo Aesthetics interrogates the shifting ontologies of virtual and actual identity within the hyper-mediated landscape of social media. The work examines the technological transformation of the self, suggesting that the fragmentation of 21st-century existence demands a multi-layered performance of identity. By navigating the perpetual flux of beauty standards, the piece investigates the objectification of the female body and poses a critical inquiry into the state of feminism in the digital era.
Transposing the theological concept of Limbo onto unstable digital topographies, the work constructs a post-human fantasy that dissolves into a demonic nightmare as the narrative progresses. The piece posits a grim parallel between neo-feudalism—the contemporary exploitation of both the environment and the corporeal—and the desperate impulse to escape the human condition. It frames the desire to leave the human condition behind not merely as a digital transition, but as a flight from the systemic anguish and mental precarity of the modern age.
