No Longer Human is a group exhibition of new works conceived as an open dialogue between the artists Nadim Abbas, Erkka Nissinen and Magdalen Wong. The subject of this dialogue concerns the condition of being human, or to be more precise, the multiplicity of known and unknowable trajectories of human development ¬– an imaginary ethnography of the posthuman.
Crisscrossing the exhibition space, viewers are confronted with an alien landscape, populated by peculiar configurations of strange yet familiar objects and imagery. This terrain becomes the projection of some long lost future, paradoxically embedded in the past, like the deserted set from an old science fiction b-movie – banality wrapped around the glow of fascination.
