FIRE PHOENIX
series: Beyond the Ark
In the Anti-Noah's Ark series, the Phoenix is a symbol of nature's continuous effort to resist decay and an archetype of cyclical renewal. Its transition from a biological state to a technological one represents an evolutionary victory. The Phoenix's transformation into a cybernetic form marks a shift from a fragile organic cycle to a potentially sustainable technological eternity.

However, as is well known, the Phoenix is a mythical creature...


The Beyond the Ark series is the central project of recent years, born from the question: what happens to those who were not saved? The robotic-looking Beasts are the rejected—those who had to recreate themselves in order to continue. Their bodies are assembled from plaster, bones, hides, metal, and polymers—vulnerable remains doomed to decay. But on built-in screens their digital doubles pulse on a loop—like spirits no longer subject to circumstance. At the same time, without electricity, the “inside” of the Beasts disappears, becoming the invisible filling of forms so akin to what we call souls…

Each of the Beasts speaks of inequality in life and universal equality before death, of the irony of chosenness, and of the bitter necessity of evolving when you were not taken onto the ship.
