Detail
As an imperfect cyborg—part human, part toy—Saeborg performs by wearing a self-made latex bodysuit that acts as an extension of her own skin. Centered on the relationship between humans and animals, this performance unfolds from the perspective of caring. A frail dog, walking unsteadily and shedding tears, stands as if abandoned on a street corner in Roppongi, exposed to the gazes of passersby. The work evokes in viewers a sense of having been born to love and explores the potential for caring and healing found in non-verbal, physical communication.

Artist
Saeborg
Saeborg, the imperfect cyborg, is half human, half toy. She creates latex bodysuits as extensions of her own skin, deploying them in performances. Motivated by her strong desire to transcend fixed identities (such as gender) and even the human body itself, she dons bodysuits that caricature sows or insects as toy-like figures, creating playful dystopias composed of the ecosystem’s basest creatures.
