Reborn

Medical science is popular, as we can gather from Playmobil Clinic no. 4343 and X-ray Room no. 6659. Designer Pleun van Dijk [Tilburg, 1992] also views the body as a fascinating DIY-kit. In Reborn she accelerates the rise of biomedical technology, bringing the perfect human being within reach: when the body becomes a modular system, we can replace malfunctioning or broken body parts.

Reborn is an attempt by Pleun, who graduated from Design Academy Eindhoven, to offer a platform for ethical questions, reflection and dialogue. An installation that will steal your heart. But don’t worry: you’ll get a new one.
