I told you he was never really gone
Léa Porré
Léa Porré is a French and Belgian artist, currently studying at the Royal College of Art, London. Her practice is a critical re-reading of French History through a lens of mythology, deeply rooted in a cyclical vision of History. She composes alternative narratives and a new mysticism in opposition to the dominant frame of duality, by disrupting iconic imagery, rituals and events. Recently, her speculative fictions pose the question of the return of French Monarchy. This ‘Other King’ could either be a desperate pretender to the throne, an immortal esoteric leader, a failed wellness guru, a sacrificial vessel or an alchemical master.
Tabitha Swanson (b.1991, Winnipeg) appears as a specimen of an online race. A designer and creative technologist using 3D rendering, AR face filters and sometimes synthetic makeup on her own body, she offers the vision of a migrant from a virtual world.
