Melanie Bonajo’s work explores issues of alienation and individual identity in relationship to technological progress and commodity pleasures. In Night Soil Fake Paradise she examines the possibilities of ayahuasca, a plant-based psychedelic brew that originates in the Amazon, in healing narcissistic urban dwellers and draws a parallel between the digital age, which is so bodiless, and the psychedelic world, where you have out-of-body experiences.
