Plastic Drift: Chemical Messengers

Installation

Plastic Drift: Chemical Messengers, explores endocrine disruptors in plastic and its queering effects on human bodies. The chemical flows between materials indicate their transformative power to imagine posthuman bodies beyond the purity myths, organic and inorganic. We explore plastic contamination of waters and altered human bodies. By melting, soaking and scratching plastics, we provoke the extraction of chemicals to discover their disruptive processes. We use latex, similar to skin, as a porous material to render these changes visible. Wearables and sculptures allow us to engage with disruptive flows sensually and conscientiously, situated between bodily fact and bodily fiction.
