+Je vois tout devant moi : le Songe d'une nuit d'été et Alice au Pays des Merveilles, mélangés à des concepts de Donna Haraway et Lynn Margulis. Des organismes avec une multitude de tentacules qui glissent parmi les spectateurs, les touchant de temps en temps avec un tentacule visceux ou avec d'autres substances organiques …

+====1. tapestry (green)====
+A woven topographic view visualizes the ecology of a symbiotic organism. It translates the collaboration between Acetobacter xylinum bacteria and Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast cells.
+The original Sensorial Skins were grown in a culture of fresh hibiscus tea for the pink, and campèche-colored tea for the orange.  The tapestries offer a play of light shining through the lightly woven, multi-layered work, reminiscent of the multiple layers woven by bacteria in an original Sensorial Skin. The tapestries are woven in 7 layers on a computer-controlled, state-of-the-art Dornier Jacquard weaving machine, with an array of organic fibers: linen, paper, polyester, elirex and cotton.

 I propose to present, in front or next of the tapestry, 2 aquariums with living cultures. Together with the video the 3 works create an intimate installation.

 Early in the morning on the fifth day of the harvest month of August 2021, a seaside ritual is taking place. In a durational performance with the sea, Anne Marie Maes’ Theatrum Algaerium rises from the waves. Metal frames hold fluttering weeds and algae-carrying jars filling up with tidal water create ‘narratives woven from the threads of past, present and future’, while a team of performers prepares and offers ocean delicacies. The waves threaten to swallow up the lab but in a repetitive action, structures, algae and jars are carried past the flood line.

 The beach at Ostend. Bright blue sky. Footprints in a wet sandy beach.
 And so steps form a path, a trail of people who have walked along the coastline of the North Sea. The trail interweaves with a chain of shells, crabs, seaweed and algae. And whoever bends down deeply sees how in that web of traces, life lives on.
