Turritopsis 2.0 (2023)



The yearning for immortality reflects an unyielding desire to transcend. Some species, each with their unique qualities, have served as emblems of eternity in our journey to grasp the elusive concept of everlasting existence. One such species is the hydrozoan Turritopsis dohrnii, known for the ability to reverse its life cycle. It has been dubbed the immortal jellyfish. The sculptural work by Brák Jónsdóttir takes the form of perplexing machinery and mutated figures to expand on the imaginations of our time.
