Ritual Digest

Hippocrates, the Greek father of medicine, believed that the human body was comprised of four fluids called the humors. A healthy individual was equally balanced in each of them. These fluids were: blood, phlegm, black bile and yellow bile. Imbalance in these humors altered the individual and compromised their well-being. Incorporating health mythologies that built the foundation for modern medicine, this project blurs the boundaries in input-output, cause-and-effect immunology. Experimenting in the materialization and documentation, I aim to legitimize mythological therapy and alternative practices crowded by superstitions and doubt.
