 LOVE YOURSELF, OK? [http://uloveyourselfok.tumblr.com/]
-[[File:Habitat.jpg]]
+"love yourself, ok?" refers to our ambiguity towards our bodies and selfs.
+While worshiping and constantly trying to shape our bodies and minds towards a virtual ideal, we tend to forget about the sheer magnificence our bodies already provide.
+The following questions are the starting point of my research, that I will document visually and in written form on http://http://uloveyourselfok.tumblr.com/ and via a daily live stream from mid february 2015 on.
+What is a bacterium?
+How do they work?
+What do they need from us?
+Why do we need bacteria?
+Are we important to our bacteria?
+How do they look like?
+How do people imagine bacteria?
+Should we fear our bacteria?
+Should we love our bacteria?
+If so, how can we show love to our bacteria?
+While trying to answer all these questions I will provide visual evidence about my process and manufacture a diagram of my chosen „animal’s“ habitat. Parallel to that I will set up a DIY laboratory to provide myself with an in depth real life experience with my very own bacteria, that I am planning to let grow under ideal conditions and document the growing process via several media outlets, such as a live-stream http://www.ustream.tv/channel/loveyourselfok and photographs, illustrations and media alike to be able to show any kind of progress in the knowledge of my chosen subject.
