OSKAR SUMMERTON

Sweden, Gothenburg, HDK Academy of Design and Crafts, 2018

My work is centred around the idea of humans extending their lives with prosthetics and other medical devices and implants. I work with materials associated with industrially produced components for mechanical construction. This gives the brooches a sterile aesthetic that complements the idea of a human as something that can be repaired with machine or man-made parts. The collective name for the pieces is Inanimate Humanity – inanimate because it infers animation and thus programming, artificial intelligence and cyborgs. The pieces attach to the wearer’s clothing in a way that makes them seem to extend out of the body.
