SALIVATIONS
13/05/2025
On Monday, May 12, 2025 we presented our latest project, “Salivations”, developed together with Orkan Telhan for the exhibition “We the Bacteria. Notes Towards a Biotic Architecture”, curated by Beatriz Colomina and Mark Wigley. “Salivations” studies the migration process of humans and their canine companions from a microbial approach: We, the microorganisms traveling in the mouths of humans and their canine companions, carry stories older than our hosts themselves. Our journeys, traced through saliva, span continents and generations… Saliva is among our oldest meeting places—a site of exchange, a fluidic architecture where we all blur into each other. At a given time, there are typically twenty billion bacteria in my dog’s mouth. They are from me, my lover, your neighborhood, Milan, and countless other beings who we have crossed paths with. Some of us are stories of displacement. We come from diverse places, ecologies, climates and dwell into new relationships, new homes. Our recent dogs carry traces of microorganisms from our past dogs. As we travel in the mouths of our fellow companions, they also carry us along with traces of dust, food, and distant geographies, as we pass on from species to species. Salivations explores our intertwined microbial histories of […]
