In the article, poet-philosopher Nina Lykke and visual artist Risk Hazekamp contemplate - in words and images -  their love of micro-organisms, especially Diatoms and Cyanobacteria. The article is a textual and visual experiment, building on a previous digital exchange in which the voices of Nina and Risk eventually has merged into one shared ‘I’. A speculative, passionate conversation is shaping up in the article, investigating the precarious conditions of life and death on the planet, and figuring out pathways towards more joyful and ethical co-becomings with the planet body than Anthropocene extractivism can offer.
