GMO- Genetically Modified Objects- “This artwork is my artistic vision interpreting natural objects and environmental changes that are happening (and being created) in our world today. Radiography explodes the usual, the “normal” representations. It is more than a technique- it is the only possible “means” to read reality, through matter rather than light. A blueprint.
