Stuttgarter Zeitung:

As a wanderer between worlds, James Cunningham peels himself from a membrane to live on in a fading body, which still holds the memory of the gold of kings.

Südwestpresse:

Very strong images fit for Documenta.

A dark pool of water is a source from which faces emerge and dissolve. Mutation arises. Glistening transparent plastic forms and computer-generated video merge with the human body. A man is augmented by technology and at the same time manipulated. His life story unfolds from birth, through development, encounters with various creatures, a battle, a meeting with “death”, and the passing beyond a veil. Movement, transparent puppets, video art and spatialised sound form a combination of ancient and hi-tech imagery, mirrored in a liquid skin of water.
