Homo Influenza

When I created this piece in 2019, the most acute and concerning virus seemed to be mankind itself. That focus dramatically shifted on a global scale just two weeks after. In this piece, the “Homo Influenza” Virus is shown as an entity with its own logic and intrinsic energy. It moves organically and smoothly, yet changes direction quickly, following an inner impulse. The viewer's gaze follows the languid movements of the virus. The clinical background sets the physical boundaries for this virus in the setting - it is under our observation for now. In "Homo Influenza", the viewer has entered a hazardous environment, pacified by the eerie music. This artwork took on the viral form itself and continued spreading to be seen nearly 100 million times across the internet. The accompanying music was composed for the piece by the artist himself.
