Description:
The human body is inhabited by millions of microorganisms and regulates itself according to relationships with them: with its microbiome and even its virome. Am I able to perceive my body as a collective of non-human species whom I coexist with? Could I think about this in terms of relationships? How could I respect the rights and desires of species collectives that coexist with my skin? Or intestine? Or genitals?
