Soft Body Modifier is a nostalgic re‐dive into the fantasies of an internet‐raised queer teenager who flipped a laptop open and never closed it. A fantasy where screens blend into reality and there are no boundaries of the digital, or of the flesh and blood.
Where at any moment my body may bend and snap, ripple across the screen, rag-doll itself through the streets, smear itself into unbelievable proportions, tangle with the cherished forms of others, transform through stages of softness and hardness. It should be free to move and fall apart, so how come I am this strictly defined handheld mass of predetermined curves and lines?
Where's the freedom I once felt, where was it again, who was with me, where did my free-flowing form disappear? At some point, the computer screen faded to black and the laptop
snapped shut, but there was nothing behind the screen.
