    THE AFTER PEOPLE

    SCENES

    In this post-apocalyptic saga, an unspecified catastrophe has unleashed a mutated mycorrhizae-like fungus that has transmuted all humans into an unprecedented and extraordinary hybrid species. 
    
    These new hybrids are embracing their new symbiotic relationship within a newly thriving natural world order, while developing heightened senses and sometimes breathtaking physical attributes. The artist has paid extra attention to researching, exploring and expressing the multitude of hybrid features and textures as well as portraying the many different characters.
    
    The narrative is a commentary on the possible consequences of our actions on the environment. It challenges the audience to consider the delicate interaction between humans and nature and the need to cherish and preserve the planet for future generations.
    
    The series is divided in two parts: 1. Portraits and 2. Scenes. This Scenes page focuses on interactions and relations within the series.

    BEFÓRE THE AFTER PEOPLE

    Installation of 9 art monitors (33″) with slideshows

    There was a boy
    A very strange enchanted boy
    They say he wandered very far
    Very far
    Over land and sea

    A little shy
    And sad of eye
    But very wise was he

    And then one day
    One magic day he passed my way
    And while we spoken of many things
    Fools and kings
    This he said to me

    The greatest thing
    You’ll ever learn
    Is just to love
    And be loved in return
