transmigration is an important layer for both life and death spaces. Through rituals, chanting, we can get the feeling of being between these two worlds. At the same time, In the era of posthumanism, it is obvious that the combination of the living and the dead is reflected in relation to nature and technology. When the machine becomes part of the body, or the body becomes the part of the machine- the mix of forms blurs the boundaries between conditions and creates new, third layer of between beings.

Forest as a mystical transaction between life and death.
I wanted to imagine what could be hidden in this forest and what images could convey the feeling of interworldliness - it should be something both living and dead.
To do this, I turned to references such as Nietzsche's 'Apollonian and Dionysian',() lso Egyptian and Buddhist concepts of rebirth, where transmigration is described as a process in which the soul arrives in a state after death but before rebirth in a new body.
At the same time, the relationship between life and death can be seen not only through rituals and mysticism. In the era of posthumanism, it is obvious that the combination of living and dead is reflected in combinations of a human being and technology.-the cyborg. The mixture of forms blurs the boundaries between these two different categories, which makes the topic still debatable: How much can you modify and “play with” a human being? At what point do we create something unnatural?

Good examples for thinking about it were artists like Arca, Pierre Huyghe and his Monstrous Mutations, Survival Research Lab and their creation of robot fights.
