The Human Puppet is curated by David Henry Nobody Jr.
The Human Puppet asks artists to look within and portray themselves as an existential Puppet, whose strings are pulled by a modern life immersed in a dark corporatist simulated reality. What is real and what is not? The illusions of the self and the puppets we live in are dissected personally by each creator in the show.
The Human Puppet will be on view at museums and cultural spaces around the world subscribed to The One Minutes Series during the month of April.
