Damaris Athene’s transdisciplinary practice focuses on the posthuman and how digital technology affects perceptions of bodily materiality. Through an exploration of feminist posthuman theory, Athene reexamines hierarchies in a post-anthropocentric world, blurring the borders between humans and more-than-humans, drawn to what embodied experience can communicate when language fails us. Her work inhabits liminal space, slipping between the real/unreal, and swimming through permeable boundaries between bodies, the organic/synthetic, the digital/physical, and 2D/3D space. Her work transmutes from painting to sculpture, photography, digital collage, and installations. “Fruit-in-my body” expands her Fruiting Bodies series, exploring entanglement, rebirth and reproduction through forms inspired by lotus seed pods and viral mammary imagery, with soft colours reclaiming femme culture.
