Sub-Sur-Face is an audiovisual work on the digital body, reimagining the human figure as a living terrain. Through 3D scanning, anatomical form dissolves into fluid, porous digital textures. The work questions how digitization reshapes notions of vulnerability and identity. Scanning here is not a means of capturing an image, but a gesture of attentive approach toward the body — toward its presence, mutability and inner states. By transforming bodies into digital landscapes, the project shifts focus from representation to experience: what is felt but cannot always be seen.
This inquiry extends into an accompanying zine — a collective sensory archive of fragments of experiences, affects and self-observations arising at the intersection of body and technology. Here the body appears as a field: fluid, vulnerable, capable of shifting depending on context, gaze and sound. Photogrammetry becomes not only a technique but a language through which presence, gender fluidity, memory, and acceptance can be spoken — between identity and its dissolution — without final definitions, remaining open.
The project was developed within the Time Based mentorship program under the guidance of Julia Santoli in Kyiv.
