EX3 - EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE

EX3 - EQUIVALENT EXCHANGE

Animation

Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost.
- Fullmetal Alchemist

Inspired by the first law of Equivalent Exchange from the anime Fullmetal Alchemist, I created this animation with which I rethinked my relationship with technology. It brings me so much pleasure, knowledge and convenience, what am I giving in return as a human being?

HOMUNCULUS ECONOMICUS

HOMUNCULUS ECONOMICUS

Installation, Video, Animation

Our Western, ‘civilized’ society is driven by capitalism. It determines our goals, addresses our greed, seduces us to consume and has an exhausting effect on our ecology. With Homunculus Economicus, I went back to the earliest stages of capitalist conditioning, where children are getting prepared to become the future perfect consumer.

MUTUALLY CONFINED

Video

Relationships seem to change between individuals due to our digital environment. Two worlds exist within a relationship. Which world do we appreciate more? To what extent do we exchange the physical for the virtual?

This shortfilm was screened on the Cinedans festival at Eye Amsterdam. Made in collaboration with Melissa Sanoesi.
