Heads listening to belly sounds
2022
The photographic series of hybrid chemigrams/chemilumens and alternative photographic processes such as cyanotype on agar agar that explore the relation of our selfs and bellies. As I come from the culture that highlights thinking as a core of my being, I dive into my material self through the practice of belly listening.
‘my belly makes noises, therefore I am’
‘my belly is a consortium of many, therefore I am’
I am an enthusiastic collector of found shopping lists and as I go through the ingredients I am fascinated by their intra-action inside our guts and on the photographic paper.
Within my practice I also learn about digestive processes of plants and multiple beings helping me to understand the symbiotic relationships we can nurture.
