Fascinated by the concept of the post-human, Tian Mu delves into the symbiotic relationship between humans and machines. He was inspired one day at a scrap metal yard when he came across anthropomorphic machine parts sitting atop a block of marble. “Somehow, I stopped and touched the marble,” he says. “I felt the machine was alive, like a living creature with a phantom limb…” Mixing and merging an eclectic array of natural, medical, and industrial sources, he breathes new life into neglected, forgotten objects.
