About
Overview
A three-month multidisciplinary residency at Villa Albertine in San Francisco for artists Marie-Sarah Adenis and Cyrielle Gulacsy to develop an illustrated book exploring the intersection of microbiology and mythology, examining how microbes function as the foundational forces and 'gods' of life on Earth.
Project Focus
The residency centers on creating a new cosmogony that pairs microbial phenomena with myths to explore the mysteries of life from both scientific and dreamlike angles. The work integrates deep time and contemporary ecological issues, offering a three-dimensional view of the origins of life through fragmentary text reminiscent of an archaeological dig and splintered drawings that trace paths for thought.

- Theme
- A residency focused on creating a new cosmogony that interweaves microbial science with mythology, exploring how microbes—the oldest and most diverse life forms—function like deities that have shaped life on Earth, with the aim of producing an illustrated book that uses fragmented text and drawings to offer both scientific and dreamlike perspectives on the origins of life.
