What are they?
Devices, attachments, enhancements, ways to leak, a way to communicate inner magics—the witchcraft of solid biology.
These devices transport, cycle, exchange and transform fluids.
What are their properties?
They ooze and leak. These ways to leak can be warm or cold.
These ways to leak are subtle, not large in size.
Where do they come from?
These ways to leak mainly come from the realm of imagination—they are a radical representation of an energetic possibility of inner biology made visible.
What is the mode of operation?
They are triggered by being pressed—by opening a tap—some drip ongoing and slowly for hours-days-months—others are triggered by unzipping a pocket—by loud screams—by switching off/on lights—by jumping—by spell casting—some of them are like waves of an ocean, they sprawl like tide, and move back when moon is high.
Why they leak - what’s the principle of leaking
Leaking like a fountain, leaking because it re-circulates within a closed loop.
Leaking like the sky, leaking because the cycle is connected to other cycles.
Leaking like tears, to release stress and endorphins, to regulate the system, a liquid barrier.
Leaking like cum, to lubricate.
What material are they made of? Plastic. Organic plastic. Seaweed. Aquarium utensils. Metal connections. Jellyfish goo. Glue. Plasticky table cloth. Leaves of plants that hold water. Placenta. Pig skin. Sausage skin. Mushrooms. Kombucha.
An imagined device
A large, dark and heavy stone is suspended on a rope and slowly lowered into a glass receptacle (transparent pelvis perhaps) full of anonymous grey marbled viscous liquid.
The basin is already brimming.
As the jagged stone grazes the surface of the liquid, it begins to pour over the edge.
Cascades over the edge.
As more of the stone's body is immersed, more of the liquid overflows.
This is the relationship.
The fallen liquid pools onto a disk-like surface below.
Susceptible to gravity, the liquid slides towards the center of the disk and is funneled through a hole leading to a spiraling intestinal tract.
The tube is filling with the liquid as it funnels through.
Coiling around itself, the intestine is on a subtle decline towards the earth.
Just before it touches moist dirt, the intestinal mouth, a sphincter, opens.
The liquid flows out onto a pile of stones, contained in mesh and hovering above the earth.
The liquid flows out onto these stones and is absorbed, disappearing for a moment along their cool, old, mineral bodies.
When the liquids finally seep out from the bellies off the stones, they are crimson, mercury, aqua and violet. Their colours flow onto and into the soil.
