HUMAN LIVESTOCK

A collaboration with Frederik Deschuytter

Written together with Fred Erik, the visual essay Human Livestock was published in the second issue of VISIONS BY, an annual magazine that addresses the different perspectives on materiality and material cultures from a critical and speculative research focus. Conceived as a fictional Wikipedia page, the essay is a parody of the earthly concept of (animal) Livestock. Exploring the human body as a source of materials that fuel an artificial ecosystem, the writing taps into future interplanetary scenarios on soon to be inhabited planets.
