Microbial Space

A collaborative, performative tour across biospheres hidden in plain sight

Microbial Space

The design used the Reading Room as a portal into the microscopic world, where we embark on a collaborative, performative tour across biospheres hidden in plain sight. Through the many different stories read by voices in the audience, the work uncovers links between how we design, furnish and inhabit spaces - directly engaging the health of the microbiome within. We encounter the incessant buzz of the biosphere and hear from microbes, cleaners and regulators. Together, we make jumps across scale and species to hear the many perspectives within this more-than-human world.
