Bodies within Bodies (2022)

We build sci-fi scenarios that talk about endosymbiosis in peculiar ways.

Starting from the premise when our minds can be plugged into other bodies; electrical bodies co-existing with biological, we will uncover surreal possibilities of becoming containers: becoming radically porous bodies to host others inside, and to be within other bodies to live as multilayered community of hybrid organisms.
