Tragedy of the HEROmachine:
you and me on the brink of extinction 

The exhibition represents the image of Hero-Man in a postheroic world and shows the hero as a fictional character in his everyday life and simultaneously a man in his heroic deeds. The routine of the man and the steps of the hero’s journey interchange and tell a dual narrative. The work examines social and gender roles reproduced in pop culture with an anthropological approach. It questions the opposition of subject and object, man and woman, sky and earth, culture and nature, cosmos and chaos, and criticises the binary logic of power dynamics as its basis. The work reflects on the end of the human from the perspective of posthumanism and portrays the failed project of humanism, rationalism, and enlightenment as an image of a dehumanized human. The work creates non-binary language on one hand as a body without organs - deterritorialized and decentralized body on the remains of humanity; on the other hand icon of the junkyard, as an apocalypse imagined by the white man in the ending of a human and “his” many faces (subject/god/author). The mixed media exhibition consists of art objects created in different mediums (installation, collage, digital art, text, painting, video) merged as one metaphorical text.
