Sympoietic Bodies is an artistic-philo- sophical exploration of the disruption of boundaries between the human body and its social and physical surroundings. The film experiments with a post-anthro- pocentric scenario, in which the body is decentred, deconstructed, and consid- ered to be the result of various interac- tions and relations. Borders are substi- tuted by linking network systems, rigid walls by flexible membranes. Fragments dissolve and transform into new skins, new bodies.
