HOMUNCULUS ECONOMICUS
Research, installation, animation
Autonomous work
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.
Shown among others during the 2018 graduation show I Am Sure You Know What I Am Talking About.
