Blood and River Water mixes a small drop of my own blood with water collected from the Charles River, collapsing the boundary between the interior of the human body and the river’s microscopic ecology. Under the microscope, blood cells swell from osmotic differences with the freshwater environment before rupturing apart. The work lingers on this uneasy intertwining of bodily and aquatic ecologies, where the body is no longer sealed or separate, but porous, vulnerable, and continuously entering into exchange with other forms of life. The work is accompanied by sound by Senem Pirler, combining recordings from my internal body with improvised live electronics.
