Baltic Collaboration - A Joyful Parasite
This newest Baltic flag collaboration is by London-based Spanish artist, saelia aparicio.
Her work dwells on ideas of the organic, establishing analogies between corporeal and social mechanism.
saelia invites us to explore the porous boundaries between inside and outside, host and intruder, human and more-than-human, taking inspiration from the figure of a parasite, both biological and metaphorical. Instead of casting parasites as villains, saelia reimagines them as symbols of resilience, adaptation, and radical coexistence.
