Travelogue – Prose Poem – Lyric Series – Case Study

‘Lykanthropus erythematosus’ uses various strategies of artistic research to examine the hypothesis that a transformative process is the motor behind the manifestations of the autoimmune disease SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus). These strategies act as impulse generators, setting the images behind the clinical picture of SLE in motion and enabling new interpretations.

Autoimmune processes can be viewed as meaningful manifestations of the organism. The book’s intended outcome is to encourage individuals affected by autoimmune diseases to question the meaning of their illness and explore fresh perspectives on their experience.
