My Want of You Partakes of Me

My Want of You Partakes of Me interrogates digestion as the fundamental condition for being in the world, a process of physiological, psychological, spiritual, literary and political dimensions. Multiple storylines trace the poetics of incorporation as a matter of metamorphosis and decay, the philosophy of matter and imperial conquest, industrialisation and annihilation, poetry and parenting, love and citation.

"Artist couple Sasha Litvintseva & Beny Wagner are back at CPH:DOX with an original, visionary and unpredictable film work that deals with something as immediately fundamental as digestion. My Want of You Partakes of Me examines digestion as the fundamental condition of being in the world – but also as a process with physiological, psychological, spiritual, literary and scientific dimensions. Parallel stories trace the poetics of incorporation as a question of metamorphosis and decay, philosophy of matter and imperial conquest, industrialisation and destruction, poetry and parenthood, love and citation."
