Super G is a conceptual 3D artist who employs 3D scanning methods to create digital spatial installations, chimeric forms, and technologically mediated materialities. His work focuses on contemporary concepts of post-human condition, new materialist feminism, transhumanism, queer theory, and the notion of ecology. This non-anthropocentric practice explores the relationships between different embodied entities and their interactions within broader systems like ecologies and technologies. Super G’s creations sit at the intersection of the natural and artificial, body and spirit, reality and fiction, aiming to understand the complexities of contemporary technology and biology through transformation.
In this piece, Super G collaborated with Artemisia Reppa, a transgender woman and model, to explore her digital transformation into a siren. This editorial delves into the dark themes of queer trauma, metamorphosis, desire, lust, and rage. By drawing from the myths and empowering power of monstrous femininities, they created an alternative scenario regarding the feminine.
“This is the part of this upcoming universe that I want to talk about again—the monstrous femininities that I look upon and relate to. In their existences, I am empowered and thrilled by their darkness and softness, where society mirrors nothing more and less for the sake of the many. All the tears I’ve shed become waves of rage, violence, lust, and magic. And of your blood, there will be no drop spared,” says Artemisia Reppa.
Instead of focusing on the theme of the gorgons or sirens as beautiful, majestic creatures, this editorial emphasizes their dark side and presents an alternative representation of the myth—something dark and somehow threatening. The editorial simultaneously embodies calmness and softness as well as disruption and harshness.
