More information
A hybrid visualization is composed of the elements deriving from Smrekar‘s personal mythology: a descent of her childhood where growing up with parents – dog breeders. It is further arranged into a mosaic immersing the viewer into a story that builds a speculative fabulation centered on a balanced coexistence between humankind and its surrounding ecosystems. As if the form of a memory album could serve as a glimpse into the past, but one that reflects an echo of the post-human future. Here, the dog-human werewolf exists as a reminiscence of an extinct culture of man.
