Neither easy to categorize nor to comprehend, Burns' work plumbs the recent cultural unconscious to address our anxieties of mortality and the potential for extending our Post-human life(form)s. He does this through the tropes of survivalism, re-imagined choreography, speculative fiction and collaborative relations.

Burns and Martin's project explores a four-way union of real-world artists Orlan and Stelarc and fictional comic-book superheroes The Scarlet Witch and The Vision. Each of these characters symbolizes transmutation and the ability to cross boundaries, be they biological, mechanical or cultural. The exhibition will take the form of photographs, graphic works, videos and and interactive sculpture that allows a viewer to be situated in the story.
