Parasites at work focus on alternative narratives and methods that try to shed light on the invisible beings in cultural institutions, prioritizing Natural History Museums. The project aims to study how rejected bodies are treated in these institutions and expose their abjection techniques, such as bio-security and disinfestation, which are not thoroughly investigated in humanities. Following this recognition, the project proposes an alternative position; the abjected bodies become the story’s protagonist.
