The Phantom (2022)

Steph Jones

This project requires camera access.

When a piece of you is amputated, the nerve connections from the periphery to the brain remain in place. It still remembers even if you want to forget. The Phantom is a haunting. Through creative code, The Phantom explores gender, self, and how they materialize and dematerialize in the physical body.

What do you do when the parts of you that you never wanted persist?
