The video explores the idea of corporeal companionship and brings in the notion of uncanny-like lump of flesh covered with skin. It is a performative act, a result of wondering how to become a microorganism, a bacteria and if I am already enough of one. Exploring the line between oppositions such as human/nonhuman, internal/external, self/the other, it refers to the definition of an abject and tries to translate that moment, or a sensation - how a breakdown in meaning, something expelled from “I” eventually comes to define “I”.
