KARIN ANDERSEN

Karin Andersen: "nina"

sought via culture (that which separates us from the animal world). The crisis of Humanism and its consequent anthropocentric fall has given way , according to some contemporary philosophers, to Posthumanism that resolves to find its wholeness in the hybrid of man/machine and man/animal. Nonetheless for other philosophers Posthumanism does not really contain the loss of human centrality.Judith Halberstam and Ira Livingstom believe that the "Posthuman body is the epicentre of pervasive epistemical changes". According to Katherine Hayles (How we become Posthuman) the cybernetic and techno-optimistic conceptions are not the result of the body-mind concept of traditional western rationalization but are in fact proposed rather as technological transcendency.
Karin Andersen unbalances the human centre with dualities that are uncensored hybrids such as the animal/machine of the "mouse".

Andersen moves away from the concept of making monsters rendered by techno-phobic anguish.
The many facets or the space-time niches of the surreal contain a serenity and a formal equilibrium which implicate the acceptance of other realities. Karin Andersen's surrealism astounds and marvels and portrays to us a uniqueness with imagination, a polymorphic reality in which the diversities merge together without creating disturbance.
According to the philosopher Sergio Givone the fear of creating monstrosities is the real sign of our incapability to relate to the "human man" , to the true nature of man, the creation of a fetish of our imagination and resemblance made to avoid looking truthfully into our souls free of the burden of sentiments and ethical and moral complications.
The universe of Karin Andersen is a dream limbo that transversely crosses our reality.
The interspace in which pours an existential duplicity, distorted and twisted in its genetic rules, is examined by the author through the indifferent eyes of someone who has lost the parameters to judge normality.
"And if diversity is absolute normality? Jungian shadows or a clay golem?"
