Four installations follow the alchemical pursuit of an ultimate remedy and the accidental creation of Prussian Blue in 1705, the suicide of chemist Clara Immerwahr as a protest against her husband’s invention of chemical weapons in 1915, the Nazi desires for and depictions of a perfect human body, cloning, automatons and robotic utopias. Together, the works create an immersive factory of human bodies, a domestic laboratory of mechanical entities and living tissues.

"Gov uses micro-stories, such as those of Clara Immerwahr and Fritz Haber, to build a larger theme. Progress can be scary, but it doesn't have to stop there. Rather, Gov wants to make us think: Is technology getting out of control? What could a responsible approach look like?"-Sabrina Patsch, Tagesspiegel, May 4, 2023
