Not for those with a weak heart : Oliver Goulet is a French transmedia artist who explores humanity as a species in the progress of disappearance. He imagines the mutation of the human body, the painful journey from egocentric individualism towards an optimal collective identification and networking ('The relic of bionic man, 2001, above). His other works include 'human hunting trophies' and 'skin bags' made of synthetic skin.
Quite disturbing to look at it shows how we are being thrown off balance by such thought of (fake) 'human skin' as a medium being used for everyday items, while we can easily accept to be accessorized with items using (real) skin of fellow beings. Interesting concept nevertheless (AJ)
