Homo Homini Gallus

Homo Homini Gallus by Lexi Gong, Digital Artwork on paper, 2025

Selected for the 2025 London Art Biennale, Italy. Digital Artwork on paper, 2025. 50x50cm.

Homo Homini Gallus confronts our collective vulnerability to unchecked desire. This grotesque man-chicken hybrid, a chilling satire born from Lexi Gong’s surreal novel ‘Carriage 1111’, plunges viewers into the subconscious theatre of a dreamscape. Here, rendered as a high-fidelity Giclée print on Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic paper, a primal transformation unfolds, vividly depicting the erosion of identity through mindless consumerism. This artwork offers a dark, satirical mirror to contemporary anxieties and the societal traps that bind us. Lexi Gong is an audiovisual poet and multifaceted creator, blending science, philosophy, and art to interrogate the human condition and its complex psychological architecture. Utilising advanced digital tools and experimental AI, her research-driven art invites us to break free from invisible chains we built for ourselves.
