Matthieu Gafsou H+ Transhumanism(s)

Transhumanism (abbreviated as H+) is an international intellectual movement that aims to transform the human condition by developing and making widely available sophisticated technologies to enhance human intellect and physiology.
Matthieu Gafsou’s H+ series explores transhumanism and all kinds of body modification or enhancement: Artificial limbs, exoskeletons, implants, neuroprosthetics, Quantified Self gadgets, nootropics, dietary supplements, anti-ageing, biopower, body hacking, genetic engineering, body preservation. The series mixes documentary approach and allegorical visions and reveals the presence of transhumanistic ideas in our lives.
Matthieu Gafsou (b. 1981) is a Swiss photographer, who initially studied esthetics of the cinema, history and philosophy at the University of Lausanne. His work has been shown in solo and collective exhibitions and can be found in public and private collections, for example the Musée de l’Elysée, the Musée d’art du Valais, the Mudac, the Fondation Hermès, the Fondation HSBC pour la photographie, the Michaelis School of Fine Art. His series Only God Can Judge Me was published by Kehrer in 2014.
