'It's another soul, but it's the same thing.' A quote taken from a conversation Maartje had with Roberto concerning his cloned dogs.
Unlimited edtions is an ongoing research project by Maartje van Ringen about everything that contains within the world of animal cloning. By learning about the possibilities and challenges and by analysing different perspectives Maartje tries to understand how we relate to our pets and horses. For her research she traveled to the United States to meet with people who cloned their beloved cat, favourite dog and successful quarter horse. She also visited a commercial animal cloning company called ViaGen and their laboratories.
Searching for the right way of getting this complicated and multi-layerd topic across in her first exhibition, we came up with the concept of transforming the space into an Animal Cloning Visitor Centre. Here you can stumble upon and dive into all the aspects that come when wnating to clone your animal. The scientific, philosophical, human, religious and unavoidable dark side of this new way of dealing with live and death.
