Mit Borrás, 1982, Madrid
Mit Borrás is a transdisciplinary artist. His work deals with the idea of Adaptation, a thesis on the relationship of human beings with nature and technological progress. Rich and personal, his work describes the impact between nature and the human desires to achieve full prosperity and transcendence from his mystified relationship with progress and our digital age. Through his study of ergonomics, he envelops the viewer in a universe of his own, an aseptic, soft environment and an orthopaedic vision of the future at the boundaries of the frontiers of bioethics, techno-religion, object engineering and sexuality in the design of consumer goods production.
Through a holistic depiction of reality, his work investigates the symbiotic order and synthetic and organic nature relations between machine, body and nature. Both the installations and the audiovisual work in his exhibitions involve the use of elements inspired by prosthetics and medical engineering, the robotics and pleasure industry, self-care and meditation, which he describes as paradigms of contemporary society whose analysis and ends he confronts. He creates with them unprecedented environments and delicate environments like limbos, serene environments that refer to high technology with flexible and sensual materials, soft colours and orthopaedic objects. His body of work establishes a Taoist perception of reality and technological singularity. Mit Borrás unifies ancestral and fictitious elements that imbue the corpus of his work with a totemic character and a balance between the religious and the digital age, the disturbingly comfortable and the uncertainty about the future.
