Carry It With You (2020) is a series of keychains (ø30mm, PVC) based on virus diagrams. Carry It With You allows you to build a new relationship with viruses. We need to picture these 'things' in order to build a new relationship with them now that we have to face the fact that the global pandemic – the emancipation of the virus – has become and will very probably stay a part of our lives for a considerable time to come. However, any depiction of viruses that we know regresses necessarily into fantastical interpretations. The up-scaling from an otherwise intangible microscopic infectious particles wrapped in a shell of protein to a for us cognizable scale necessarily gives an aesthetic interpretation to viruses which through time has become the way we know them by. In the case of Covid-19, this soft looking bumpy gray sphere with pastel red bulges with here and there a yellow-orange bump in its surface. Although this description invites for anthropomorphising – imagining human-like qualities such as eyes and ears onto this 'things' called viruses – viruses only become 'alive' (or 'biologically active' as they call it because viruses are not organisms and thus cannot be 'alive') once they have entered cells of living organisms; once they have penetrated a host-cell which they become part of. Viruses are only alive if they are in something alive, and hence somewhat are the ontological classifier that demarcates the alive from the inorganic: that what can get sick is alive.
