TRANSFORMING INTO A RESOURCE





HOW TO BECOME WHOLESOME:
TRANSFORMING INTO A RESOURCE

During making How to Make an Ocean it was impossible to get access to any medical lab to test tears or any other bodily liquids for their suitability to nourish the mini marine ecosystems. The chemical strips came as a temporary substitute to check PH, presence of copper, nitrogen etc. The tests were conducted regularly, together with the diary of diet. As part of the How to Make an Ocean each strip was annotated with the date and reason for crying. In How to Become Wholesome this was enhanced by testing various stages of water making from bodily liquids. In addition to diet and fitness diary there are urine and sweat conditions tests. The images made out of the individual squares of chemical strips became an investigation into the aesthetics of human body condition and health and whether it can be reflection of health of the environment. It is a colourful record of interconnections between human body and environment and preparing to become a resource.
