CAPSULE PEOPLE
Capsule People is an early reflection on the growing solitude that accompanied the dawn of the digital era in the 2000s. Enclosed in their own bubbles, young and beautiful couples appear connected only to their devices—iPods, game consoles—or caught in the act of taking selfies, all before the invention of the iPhone.
Separated from one another by the literal capsule, they inhabit the digital world while remaining detached from carnal reality. From today’s perspective, the works take on an almost prophetic dimension: by the mid-2020s, the solitude crisis has become more acute than ever.
