The artwork In the Prematurely Cloned Age of One Planet focuses on ethical context. To clone, or not to clone? Where can that lead? The devices assure the perfect operation of the body (including measuring the volume of breathed-in oxygen), yet the figure of the woman is genetically deviated. The scattered financial rubbish bears the writing ‘State of Absurdistan’. However, the figure supported by a crutch from the back is surprisingly attractive and elegant, which is exactly where the danger lies. Man ceases to be critical; he overlooks danger and doesn’t notice that, together with an attractive wrapping, he accepts something he had not originally wished for at all.
