Mauro Serra - The Essential Accessory
Sex
Oxygen
Food
The essential accessory is a triptych that imagines a dystopian reality in which people have stopped using the brain for the highest cognitive functions, it is now shrunk and almost atrophied, but above all, it is relegated to the satisfaction of mere primary needs such as nourishment, oxygenation, and sex. These needs are administered directly through the physical surface of the brain since it is no longer used to think, in fact, it no longer has a reason to remain in the skull. This work is a reflection that emerged from recent current events, including pandemics, war, and emergency management, which have made a dystopian and unimaginable future something likely. But above all, it is a reflection that arose from people's reactions to such events.
