Let's explore the topics of boundaries and interpenetration, and membrane permeability. We will debate the refugee crisis, walls and barriers, but also the bacteria inside our bodies, or islands.

Islands and islands with semi-permeable membranes and walls with barbed wire. What connects them and why should we care? Together with Lech Wilczek, the author of the photographs in the exhibition Primeval Forest, Garden and Wall, we will touch on the movement of plants and the natural habitat of animals, focusing on the detail and then stepping back to see the world from a broader perspective.

We'll be hunting with a viewfinder and monkeying around for a microfauna of our bodies.
