Description
The artistic aim is to assemble a spacesuit as a complete life-support system. This wearable, heavily technologized capsule, is understood as the ultimate interiorization of a human, as well as isolation from the environment. However, what makes human presence in outer space possible is the symbiotic coexistence with the non-human, one’s personal microbiome. This vessel of organisms, interconnected with the human body, is challenged by radical outer space conditions toward which the somatic body shows more physiological plasticity than its microbiome.
