MENSES ANTIDOTE is an auto-performative bio-sculpture that stands as an electronic totem invoking the magic held in the organs that birth us into life. The hybrid nature of this totem intertwines an invigorating and erogenous melting substance with an -electronic DIY nervous system-, programmed to manufacture a cure-tonic that Isabel drinks.

 

The visitors are invited to acoustically and kinetically interact with Menses Antidote and its meaning assembly manual, discovering behind a steaming vitrine an alternative past for the future of life.

 

MENSES ANTIDOTE started in Amerindian and Polynesian territories, where Isabel embodied tribal practices with the landscape,

in trying to comprehend the ancestral belief that the

-Earth is a Womb-.
