TANEM FIUJA or ‘exchanging future’, in Bichlamar (the local Vanuatu language) explores the concept of scarification in a far-flung future. Loan Favan contemplates whether future humans will still endure scarification, which animals will inspire them in their rituals and which extraordinary powers they will seek. TANEM FIUJA is a collection of ritualistic ornaments and speculative scarifications. The work describes a series of futuristic rituals with which hypothetical humans protect themselves from the passage of time and attempt to become invincible and immortal.
PLASEM (‘add up’) is the ritualistic tool used in PLANEM RUS scarification ritual. PLASEM tool merges the implant matters to the skin and injects a part of the implant below the skin surface. PLASEM is composed of an intricate cylinder where the implantz can be placed and be prepared for procedure on a 4-axis hook. The placement of the implants can vary and is influenced by the preliminary dreams the patient will have. The ritual to install all the pieces lasts from 2 to 10 hours depending on the complexity of the shape dreamed.
