SEPARATION ANXIETY BOY HARSHER + SVEN HARAMBASIC

 
 
 
“The symbiotes form a symbiotic bond with their hosts, through which a single entity is
created. They are able to alter their hosts’ personalities and memories by influencing
their darkest desires, along with amplifying their physical and emotional traits and
personality.”
 
 
 
 
 

In Cyberpunk literature, the body is frequently portrayed as an incidental element, disconnected from the essence of one's mind. Conversely, in today's world, clothing.

Often serves as a prosthesis for human hardware and software alike. Consequently wearing clothes not only amplifies one's identity but also transforms the body into a site of metamorphosis.

 
 
 

Decoding the true nature of metamorphosis is challenging; fashion design itself can be seen as a form of creative body design, which can also be interpreted as a type of bodily invasion. A symbiotic bond between an invader and a host, resulting in a simultaneous amputation and prosthesis, acting as both a cure and a disease.

 
 
 
 

A self-styled surgery in opposition to status quo.

A self-designed identity-extension in opposition to paradox of being alone in the crowd

A self-inflicted fear of separation.

 
 
 
 
 

'Separation Anxiety' represents another collaboration between Boy Harsher. A shadowy electronic duo, and Sven Harambasic, a photographer and art director.

It portrays the band's vibrant intrusion into gothic merchandise stereotypes, captured through Harambasic's distinctive style of deconstructed body horror and Neo-Noir noise.
