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.

Embryonic Stager investiga la ingeniería genética del DNA humano y no humano. ¿Cómo te sentirías sabiendo que estás siendo estudiado, analizado, multiplicado y clonado por desconocidos? ¿Que tus células están a la venta y que tu existencia se reproduce en cápsulas congeladas? Cuando un embrión expuesto pulsa contra un equipo médico, se transforma entre especies, desafiando una identidad fija.

Embryonic Stager egzamine jeni jenetik ADN moun ak lòt espès. Ki jan ou ta santi w si ou te konnen gen moun ou pa konnen k ap etidye w, analize w, miltipliye w, epi klone w? Ke selil ou yo disponib pou vann, epi egzistans ou ap repwodui nan kapsil jele? Pandan yon anbriyon ekspoze ap bat bò kote ekipman medikal, li transfòme ant diferan espès, li defye lide yon idantite ki fikse.
