Why not try out Nub Land? Immerse yourself within this vivid chromatic landscape, and discover the different characters who live there.

About

A portrait of Marly Merle, wearing dark make up with pink mesh fabric around her face.

The wearable Nub Land landscape is a means of transporting yourself into Nub Land. By wearing the body adornment, you can become part of a different reality - completely submerged into a new space, a place of newness and reinvention. Nub Land provides a safe place for the Nub, Vub, Nub Women and Vub Person to roam freely. This alternate reality creates a space for these new breeds to exist, to truly live out their new reimagined potential. 

The transference through Wearable Sculpture and a video lens, allows an insight into what Nub Land looks and feels like to be submerged within. A unique glimpse into this vivid chromatic landscape, shows only a fraction of what a fully transitioned Nub Woman and Vub Person experiences.

It’s now up to you. Do you want to become a Nub Woman or a Vub Person? Re-envision yourself as a new hybrid, and finally take the plunge to transport yourself once and for all to Nub Land.

A woman stands up high with an extremely oversized dress, like she is on stilts under the gown. Her arms are raised and she looks down to the camera.
A woman stands in a wide squat pose with pink tunnels over her arms reaching down to the floor and pink material between her legs. There is pink lighting around her and she looks up to the right.
