The Posthuman Hospital is an experimental animation project inspired by Donna Haraway's Cyborg Manifesto. The film explores the uncertainty of the boundary between non-human and human in the relationship between technological advancements and the human body. The director utilizes various digital techniques such as 3D scanning everyday objects and overlaying super 8mm film scans onto 3D images to create a unique visual experience. Through these experimental images, the film presents the medical records of various posthuman patients in an imaginary hospital, questioning the relationship between humans and technological objects beyond Cartesian dualism.
