Symbioplot reconstructs a plot for catastrophe with the discovery of a symbiotic power that connects all life on earth. This work unfolds a myriad of stories that are entangled, intertwined, and caught up around symbiosis, coevolution and the narrative of catastrophe. For example, it amalgamates seemingly unrelated stories such as the history of coexistence between cells and mitochondria, the relationship among humans, dogs and livestock, the traces of how life on earth mutated in order to adapt to the environment, and a dialogue between an artist and an environmental engineer.
