Bloodstains. The Human Stain – Philip Roth. The question is simple, when we look into the mirror. Stains are our scars – in the heart, in the eyes, cuts of nostalgia, illnesses, worn arteries, the passing years. We were clean only in that moment when the midwife wiped away the little blood and placenta of our mother – until the first dose of liquid s**t that soiled our brand-new intestine. From then on, it’s been a succession of smells, filthy layers, corrupted breaths – year after year, until today – and so it will continue tomorrow. We are made up of about 60% water – and water keeps getting dirty.

SOAP, beyond naming the detergent we wouldn’t want to forgo – after the gym, after bed, after the office, after s*x – is also the acronym of Simple Object Access Protocol, a framework for exchanging information across different platforms. A tool that simplifies the layers of language construction and transmits only the necessary data, in a basic – clean – form. On other fronts, you don’t dare say “drop the soap” – in the barracks, in the common showers at the gym, among uninhibited men – the soap slips, you bend down to pick it up, someone else stiffens before you rise again. The joke comes easily, “don’t drop the soap”.

The soap of washing, domestic and industrial. Washing machines, still without filters, in Europe as in Malaysia, cannot stop the microplastics from the T-shirts we bought for 12 euros. Blended fabric T-shirt: cotton and polyester. Jeans with elastane. With every spin cycle they release microfibers. CO2 in the air is part of a tragedy in which the leading role belongs to microplastic pollution.
The rising of sea levels compounded by microplastics no longer perceptible. Every sustainable theory collapse in the face of the microplastics drama. A bacterium, genetically modified or modifiable, will it be able to digest them, the microplastics in the ocean? What would be the price of unleashing a bacterium with such incidence? We reached out to a lab asking to photograph molds and bacteria under the microscope. We went to Vienna and Madrid to follow the slimy trails left by snails. We commissioned a bar of soap – we’ll produce more in series – blending h**p extract into it. We photographed the Tuberculosis asylum by Ignazio Gardella.
