Drawing on the regenerative logic of the freshwater polyp Hydra, this project operates as a performative system in which reproduction and division function as structural principles rather than metaphor. The wearable sculpture TREUEANZUG and body-bound works such as codeNEUROHYD and ERLAUBTE FRUCHT extend the body into material and technological fields. Identity appears not as fixed entity but as something produced through attachment, augmentation, and exchange. Positioned between organic regeneration and technological extension, the work treats established categories — body, object, material, community — as provisional and unstable.
