Abstract
Photographic series produced from an experiment using my menstrual blood translated from a microscope built by my friends and me that uses the cell phone's camera amplified with a laser pointer lens (a 2-real keychain). This relationship came about thanks to my master's research, ethnographing the encounter between hacker practices and scientific doing, thinking of it as tactics of insistence on staying researching - and living - joyfully. This essay is a winner of the II Mariza Correa Prize for Visual Anthropology and is published in partnership with the 2018 John Monteiro Anthropology Journeys.
