The sculptures of the two installations at Het HEM embrace a bio­ mechanical science fiction-like form language. They are post­human alien­ like figures who could have emerged from H.R. Giger's fantasy. In the large raw halls of Het HEM, they seem to be waiting like embryos to be born, or rather to slowly dissolve into dust.

In her work Ivana Basic (1986, Serbia) addresses the vulnerability and transformation of the body and human matter. By using different materials in the work (such as wax, glass, steel, alabaster, oil paint) and combining these with technique and immaterial matters (such as breath, pressure and rigidity), the sculptures acquire a post­human quality. The colours she chooses refer strongly to the human body. Pink, white and natural combinations are reminiscent of blood, bone and flesh.
