DOOMESTICS
Doomestics has been developed in Argentina, within the context of my postdoctoral project entitled Symbiotic tactics.
Doomestics’ theme and title work with the tension established by the ecological need to cohabit with beings that are perceived as dangerous, undesirable or disgusting. Among them, spiders, scorpions and bats, to name a few. The project stages a series of products that make these beings visible and integrate them in different ways to everyday urban life, while exposing our fear, our phobias and our tendency to reject them.
