And everything is porous as a bodily crack
A project by Alice Giuliani & Camilla Strandhagen

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 Spoonieland,
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's
Spoon Theory
The concept of Criptime
Johanna Hedva's
Sick Woman Theory
