In CHM13hTERT, Agnes Questionmark presented herself as a new hybrid being, whose questionable genesis was undefined. Suspended for twelve hours a day for sixteen consecutive days, supported by a metal structure and a series of cables and straps, her body became a political vessel challenging the power relations inherent in our current social structures. It was unclear whether an experiment was being conducted, if an operation was being carried out or if what was seen was evolution taking place before our eyes.

The performance aimed to question evolutionary pathways controlled by science, technology and our own will; technology extends the potential of the body, to reconnect it to nature. Starting from the right that each of us has over our own body, being able to encode our gene means that, perhaps, one day we will be able to modify it and shape it as we wish.
