Genetic Engineering: Self-reproductive Manifestations Of Excess?

"The child-mannequin-type figures of the sculpture "Zygotic acceleration, biogenetic, de -sublimated libidinal model (enlarged x 1000)," 1995, are also removed from biological reality, and yet the body with its multiple girl heads, legs, and arms conveys the impression of a living creature. They are mutated organisms – fused together at their torsi; anus, vulva or penis replace nose, ears, or mouth – who seem to offer themselves sexually to the viewer. The theme of the work is, if one sticks to the title, cell reproduction and sexuality. A work that captures the self-reproductive manifestations of excessive, errant libido and reveals the obsessions of genetic engineering."
(The Kunsthaus Bregenz)
