The Last People

Contemporary virtual reality and the creeping merger of technology and our bodies seem to define the future of the human species in an unprecedented way. By offering the promise of a life free from biological, spatial and temporal constraints, they materialise old millenarian ideas and the primordial desire to achieve immortality. The exhibition focuses on the attempt to overcome death as the main vector of futurological concepts of humanity. While referring to contemporary transhumanism, Russian cosmism and ancient roots, it tells the story of the last people.
