Urine Vita



<Urine Vita> explores the urine-related historical tales, myths, folk medicine knowledge, and the intricate tapestry of food traditions.

It delves into the ‘Astyages Dreams’ in Herodotus, a historical tale brimming with profound symbolism and transformative potential. It embodies the concept of offspring replacing their predecessors, heralding the advent of a new era.

By infusing this historical account with a contemporary context, this project seeks to adopt a de-centered and non-human perspective. It merge the historical tale with the knowledge of urine therapy and the tradition of urine-fermented food to envisioning a new narrative where urine emerges from an androgynous body, transforming into a life-giving spring that gives birth to a new life form, transcending the boundaries of human existence.
