Agnes Questionmark, Embryonic Stager, 2023
Agnes Questionmark (b. 1995, Rome, Italy; lives in New York, New York)
Embryonic Stager probes the genetic engineering of human and non-human DNA. How would you feel knowing that you are being studied, analyzed, multiplied and cloned by unknown people? That your cells are available for sale and that your existence is reproduced in frozen capsules? As an exposed embryo pulses against medical equipment, it transforms between species, defying a fixed identity.
