sascha nordmeyer: communication prosthesis

sascha nordmeyer: communication prosthesis


politician

communication prosthesis is a unique object designed by sascha nordmeyer which aims to communicate
for its user. the object is a small, rigid red circle which is inserted into a user’s mouth. once installed,
the prosthesis holds the mouth open and forms strange expressions. nordmeyer describes the project
as a research concept that is ‘the ultimate communication tool’. in addition to the device itself,
nordmeyer also created this series of photographs featuring various professionals such as a politician,
a midwife, a craftsman and an actress wearing the prosthesis. the pictures and the prosthesis are both
available in limited editions.

The mouths are shaped too similarly... They should have taken it to the extreme!

This is not a prosthesis...it's technically a stent. Sorry, but that's my profession. Today I am completing a middle finger prosthesis (no joke). I guess that can be used as a "communication prosthesis" too!

This also reminds me of a dental dam (ugh, memories of root canal).

I do like his eco tables, though.

Frightening to say the least. He should take it to the extreme and have different emotions. Hints of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" music video from the 90's
