Amoebas Realm: Skinned Series
EXPOITATION
From coexistence to extraction.
-
The Skinned Series, part of Amoebas Realm, marks a new stage in the evolving relationship between humanity and the giant amoebas inhabiting this speculative ecosystem. Having first observed, feared, and attempted to contain these organisms, humanity eventually learns to exploit them, transforming their biological properties into a new material resource.
Presented as stretched and pinned skins against the wall, the works evoke both preserved specimens and draped hides, blurring the boundaries between artifact, trophy, and industrial material. Removed from the living body, these skins become evidence of a profound shift: the transition from coexistence to domestication, and ultimately, commodification.
The series reflects on humanity's enduring tendency to appropriate the living world, reducing complex organisms to their functional or economic value. Within Amoebas Realm, the Skinned Series raises questions about extraction, consumption, and the ethical consequences of transforming life into material. It invites viewers to consider how societies define the limits between use and exploitation, and what is lost when living systems are stripped of their agency and reduced to resources.
