Mind Over Matter Over Mind (untitled, 1 – 3)
Haapoja Terike
A series of three video portraits made from 3D ultrasound images of 20-week-old human embryos. The image is cropped as in traditional portraits and presented on flat LCD screens, somewhat reminiscent of paintings. The work focuses on the disturbances in the image, created by water and the movements of the foetus, their expressions shifting from cute to monstrous, from recognizable to abstract.
