HOLOBIONTES
Somos huéspedes y anfitriones dentro de una cadena simbiótica que parece infinita, a pesar de que nos hemos esforzado por
erradicar cada microorganismo de nuestro cuerpo para mantenerlo limpio y alejar, o al menos mantener bajo control, cualquier
especie que nos puede superar, estamos dentro de un caldo de cultivo del que no somos conscientes y en el que nuestra ausencia es
sólo la razón de un desarrollo diferente.
No somos el centro, no dirigimos el sistema, ni somos independientes; y aunque nos vemos como los
medida de todas las cosas, es nuestro entorno el que parece tener en su propia conciencia la verdadera medida de lo que es.

Holobionts es una serie fotográfica que invita a reflexionar sobre el lugar que ocupamos como organismo huésped y huésped,
que ha hecho de su cuerpo y de su entorno un territorio que no le pertenece enteramente.
The term Holobiont was first used by the American biologist Lynn Margulis. used it to portray to the set of organisms that strengthen
among themselves a long-term symbiotic association with another organism, that if were it to fail, its very existence would be in
danger. Margulis was convinced that life is above all the fruit of cooperation, not competition, thus contradicting Darwin's theory of
natural selection.
The modern society in which the human being feels predominant has been dedicated during the last decades to eliminate or control
any organism from your environment and your own body, without taking into account that we are necessarily dependent on them for
survival.
Are we independent or has an unsustainable idea about our place on the planet been planted in us?
If we continue with the idea of being the center and adapting the world only to human needs, will we be
able to survive in an environment that works and evolves mainly due to its ability to work in constant cooperation?
This has made me think about the absence of the human being within the spaces he inhabits, from which he has
appropriate, whom he has turned into an extension of himself and where he deposits part of his life on a
table. As an example is the collection of their food, the time interval that these exhibit and how they are
to return symbol of the absence, of the death, and of the resuscitation of the life. And if the human does not come back, how much
will he have to happen so that another organization appropriates what is on the table?
The table as an object has become a symbolic element that has in itself the property of describing
societies and individuals, in addition to being the support in which the human being throughout its history has deposited
a part of what it is, of its memories and oblivion.
