A windy trail walk around Highland Park, a chloroplast electron transport chain lesson, readings and discussions of Vera Bühlmann and Emanuel Coccia text, and developments of in progress anthotypes.
Photosynthesis is but the cosmic process of liquidating the universe, a movement through which the world emerges as a fluidum: it lets the world breathe, and it holds the world in a state of dynamic tenseness. Aspiration, breathing, indeed means exactly this experience: what contains us, air, turns into what is being contained within us, as well as the other way around, what is contained in us turns into what contains us. To breath means to delve into a milieu which percolates us as much as we percolate it.
—Coccia, Die Wurzeln der Welt
