The exhibit integrates contraception and reproductive health technologies with the conceptual frameworks of extraterrestrial extraction. The installation traces the evolution of intrauterine devices (IUDs) from the 20th and 21st centuries. These devices undergo a metamorphosis, emerging as iconic and abstract symbols that transcend their original functionality. Projected in holographic fans, these images construct a futuristic yet nostalgic mechanical space, exploring intergalactic temporalities that unveil the arbitrary and often violent nature of biopolitical technologies.
