Installation
2013
shown at The Retrospectacle of S. Raoul

This posthumously discovered unfinished work,  chronicles S. Raoul’s claim of having created the immortal jellyfish, Turritopsis nutricula. He researched the mechanisms that trigger our immortality complex so we can grow the equivalent of new polyps, and essentially, live forever.
