'the culture' detail 3, 2018

The culture is an experiment of an interspecies relationship occurring inside a tank. Water becomes the site of interaction between bacteria, yeast, plants, and humans for investigating the symbiotic process through embodied shared experiences and the exchange of matter. During this encounter, the artist starts sharing experiences with the culture of bacteria and yeasts playing music for them, chanting childhood songs, or integrating body residues as hair or saliva to the different tanks. The microorganisms respond to these inputs creating different celluloses films that integrate the artist’s culture. Still from video. Archival pigment print on paper. Edition 2 of 5, signed and numbered by the artist. Size 11 x 14”. Unframed. Augmented Reality content. Allow two weeks for production time.
