Mermaids and Mermen are iconic for their beauty and monstrous virtues. This animated digital/sculptural installation takes on a different vision of Mer-people (without focusing on binary constructs), which embodies Hogarthian beauty aesthetics and the Kristevan abject by emphasizing the human vertebrae. This serpent- like body/hybrid fuses human and animal relationships and forces notions of the bizarre, uncanny, human uniqueness, and intrigue. These merfolk personify signifiers of oppositions in a new-fangled depiction of the mythological monsters. They are monstrously beautiful. And, beautifully marvellous.
