" This zine is the result of the artist in residence project at Motel Spatie Arnhem. The parasite became a theme after Motel director Claudia Schouten had noticed the use of the parasite metaphor in one of my mails to her-as well as in a text of artist in residence Syafiatudina (Dina), member of Kunci Cultural Studies in Yogyakarta.
The zine does not represent a coherent theory of parasiting. It is more like a cartoonish collage of different Google search results, Wiki facts, quotes from literature, examples of parasite art and personal experience. Together these try to outline the potential of the parasite metaphor so it can be used as a reference for future projects. "
