Woman is the pig of the world AND Faded Glory

‘Woman is the pig of the world’, free after ‘Woman is the nigger of the world’ by John Lennon, is perhaps HJIM’s most intimate series. The basis is the relationship between men and women, personal (love) history, unequal power relations and the way women are treated by men.

With this series HJIM wonders why women take almost everything. She does not shy away from the analogy with the pig - an intelligent omnivore. After being hurt several times herself, she decides to show her sadness, anger, uncertainty, but also her pride and determination.

Why should we take this anymore?

'Faded Glory' Will we become immortal?

Like plants and flowers, the human body withers with time. We throw away plants and flowers when they are not fresh anymore. What can we do with our bodies to prevent them from aging, because the body cannot be thrown away before we die. Can it be fixed?

Fine lines and wrinkles aren’t the only signs of aging. The aging process is nothing to shy away from but still it seems many people consider aging to be a sickness. Many believe that signs of aging are ugly and they try to keep their bodies young and fit. Common methods for doing so include sports, vitamin pills, moisturizers, and plastic surgery.

But science marches on. How long will it take before editing genetic codes becomes a common method for turning back the hands of time? How long will it take before the body knows when to renew itself to make it possible for us human beings to live ‘forever’, or at least for a thousand years?
