Real Fiction: Revital Cohen & Jens Hauser

Revital Cohen & Jens Hauser
Ethical Complexities & Dilemmas

Revital Cohen and Tuur Van Balen run a London based experimental practice that produces fictional objects, photographs, performances and videos exploring the tensions between biology and technology. Inspired by designer species, composed wilderness and mechanical organs, they set out to create posthuman bodies, bespoke metabolisms, unnatural animals and poetic machines.
