In the Intimacy of Strangers
Video installation, HD stereo 4:30_2024
The core of the evolutionary theorist Lynn Margulis’ view of life was that new kinds of cells, tissues, organs and species evolve primarily through the long-lasting intimacy of strangers. In the tidal area, where the boundary between land and sea constantly is shifting, random encounters between different bodies is a daily matter. “In the intimacy of strangers” is a reflection on the relationships in this liminal area and how they potentially could be the conception of new species.
Part of Wretched Ground.
