"Psychological Man" is a video artwork which depicts a man in perpetual motion, running towards the viewer. This piece is a symbolic exploration of the themes in Ernest Becker's 1974 Pulitzer Prize winning book, "The Denial of Death". Particularly, the concept that conscious awareness of our own mortality drives human behaviour. The impulse to participate in what Becker calls 'immortality projects' - family, legacy, culture, religion- is an attempt to reconcile the absurd contradiction of the dual ontological impulses of humanity: our natural creature existence and our symbolic constructions. The artwork's alternating AI-rendered frames, which oscillate between manmade, mechanical elements and natural, decaying organic motifs, embody this duality. The laboured and ultimately fruitless running symbolises the absurdity of these immortality projects and our symbolic attempts at immortality. Accompanying this visual narrative is a soundscape blending natural and mechanical sounds, creating a tense, immersive experience. The piece invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of the human condition, our innate fears, and the eternal pursuit of meaning and symbolic immortality through technology and culture.
