Dissecting Disguise

2020


Dissecting Disguise  is the title that gathers the sculptures, installations and digital illustrations realised in occasion of VIR artistic residency 2020.

The project stems from a question focused on fugitive pets who put the relationship with their owners on standby to return to wilderness.

To begin with, it should be made clear that pets usually escape with the intention of coming back, which makes the action temporary and impulsive.

These are two parameters that we also find in mimicry and autotomy, respectively the two fields of this project's research together with a third area represented by anthropomorphism.
