In And everything is porous as a bodily crack, Alicé and Kmila travel through intimate, sci-fi, distorted galaxies to talk about that which is so hard to explain. They create an utopian dimension where chronic illness is not anymore an invisible shadow but a tangible creature.

Diving into Spooooonieland, an horizontal surface reminiscent of damaged epidermis, their bodies can finally transform into their hidden and unspoken conditions: they are antibodies rebelling against compulsory healthiness; they become grub-lovers that melt into fatigue and chronic pain. They play each other's guardian in the search for care and pleasure. Deploying experimental practices on how to exercise care, this research echoes several theories from disability studies: Christine Miserandino' Spoon Theory, the concept of Criptime, Johanna Hedva' Sick Woman Theory
