Abstract
This text, whose writing oscillates between essay and academic article, deals with the notion of symbiosis, the dichotomy between nature and culture in the capitalist system, and some thoughts and artistic forms that challenge this dichotomy. The aim is to sketch out a framework of ideas that both underpins the theme of symbiosis between humans and non-humans and provides an opening for thinking about it in the field of art. This is only a brief outline, whose main mission is to unsettle its readers.
