The complete installation at the UNISA Gallery — the cast-resin cyborg shoes displayed on plinths and in Plexiglas cases, like a shoe shop. Photograph: Mandy Connidaris.

A whimsical shoe shop for an age in which contemporary culture increasingly promotes fashion trends and ‘street culture’ involving body modification. Exhibited in Dystopia at the Oliewenhuis Art Museum and the UNISA Gallery, South Africa.

The turquoise cast-resin shoes were photographed by Mandy Connidaris and shown in the Out of the Cube online gallery.
