Resilience Overflow
Lara Tabet
Beirut
Resilience Overflow explores the invisible boundaries between science and fiction, personal life and collective issues.
This multidimensional project was born from a collaboration between the artist and the Laboratory of Environmental Molecular Microbiology at the National Center for Biotechnology in Madrid. It is based on the creation of a bacterial strain, taken from the artist's intestine and then genetically modified to integrate and produce the human neuropeptide Y — a molecule associated with resilience.
Having become a tiny pharmaceutical factory, this bacterium raises a hypothesis: what would happen if it were released into Beirut's water network?
Between scientific provocation and political reflection, the project questions resilience as a pretext, the role of the individual in the face of the absence of the state, and the unprecedented alliances that could arise between the human world and the microbiological world.
