Photobook "The Fifth Quarter" Natalia Ershova, Maxim Mihaltsov
The work is done in the mockumentary genre. Each character in the series has their own story, and all the stories come together to form a huge puzzle—the supposed story of the future. Bioengineering has now become one of the most promising areas of science: - Biomimicry; - Bionics; - Biomimetics; - Neuroimplantation. But any technological progress is associated with changes in the social structure and public relations. It is already impossible to hide from progress, and we have no choice but to accept the rules of the game. In this work, we consider what will happen to humanity when we change our nature and are able to abandon Darwin's revolution. Ethical questions will arise: Do we have the right to create semi-living beings and use them for our own purposes? And who is using whom now, us them or them us? How will improved humans treat those who did not agree to this, perhaps the way we treat animals now? And what kind of world will it be after Homo Sapiens?
