ORGANS AND OTHER LUXURIES
Animated GIF series “Organs and other luxuries” explore structures of desire and the ever-shifting body under the capitalism. They were created by combining excerpts from medical books (such as instructions for surgical procedures, organ sewing, etc.) and fashion magazines (expensive gems, furs, etc.). Compositions resemble diagrams used in biology, e.g. how the organism functions, or the exchange of matter in nature, but in this case the organs of the human body are interchangeable with the objects/luxuries, alluding to the flow of capital, where everything has a price and bodies are just another consumer item.
