Entanglements of Being: Microbial Ecosystems investigates the profound intricacies of microbial life, an invisible yet foundational stratum of the biosphere. By illuminating the microscopic worlds that structure and sustain all living systems, the project foregrounds the intimate interdependencies that blur the boundaries between self and environment, organism and infrastructure. These molecular entanglements challenge anthropocentric assumptions, revealing that life is not composed of discrete, autonomous units, but of deeply integrated networks of exchange and co-formation.
By reframing the microbial as integral to both human and nonhuman bodies and ecosystems, the project calls for a radical reconceptualization of environments, as adaptive, porous milieus that recognize and integrate the continuous, invisible metabolic processes and ecological agency of microbial life into their very structure.
