ANTHROMIASIS
March 12-19, 2021
A serious and pervading infestation by the ectoparasite Homo sapien has taken hold of our planet. The symptoms include widespread decay of organic tissue, tracts of scarred, barren land, irregular coloration of bodies of water, unprecedented waste build up, and overall dysfunction and failure of vital ecological processes. Kyle casts a critical eye on humanity’s collective ineptitude to prioritize conservation in a world where anthropogenic effects are dramatically shaping our future. Through satirical sculptural works, grotesque photographs, and a cacophonous audio track, Kyle exposes exploitation and disregard of our planet by juxtaposing mechanical forms with biomorphic abstraction.
