Thesis: Post Human Romanticism: A thought about the end of man and post human survival of man’s cultural achievements

PastPrePost a walk to the end of borderlines

My graduation collection is inspired by my thesis for which I explored a hypothetical post-human future where we will be completely integrated with technology whilst having forgotten the functionality of objects from the past that we cherish as trophies. In this apocalyptic setting everything is possible; the gender and age issues, for example, are completely outdated and the most important thing is to survive in harsh outdoor conditions. “I’ve always wondered why the post-apocalyptic world is presented as something dusty and melancholic. Why can it not be modern and futuristic and at the same time in strong connection with the past?”
