Details
In the four-part work "Waving with my phantom limb", I deal with the virtual subculture of the Otherkin. These are people who perceive themselves as non-human, but as beings such as elves, wolves or even disembodied constructs such as glitches and galaxies. They have found a place to share their identities, particularly on the social media platform Tumblr and other forums.
In order to transfer the fragile constructs of these identities into an exhibition space, I chose the form of mobiles after extensive research. Each mobile portrays the personality of an Otherkin.
The series includes: Phoenixkin, Galaxykin, Wolfkin and Fishkin
