"Canis Lupus Anatomy"

living and
the artificial tend to disappear, introducing the artificial into the
natural
and vice-versa. Donna Haraway’s model of the cyborg is thus imposing

This series of 6 serigraphs mixes the artificial outfit of the animal ( its robotic shell) with its inner biological anatomy (cardiopulmonary, digestive or bone system randomly). |

The shell of

the
shell or not. The decision makes the serigraph a unique piece, as the
owner
turns into a brand new imagery surgeon.
