The division of life into vegetal and relational, organic and animal, animal and human, …
passes frst of all as a mobile border within living man, and without this intimate caesura
the very decision of what is human and what is not would probably not be possible.

Giorgio Agamben

It may be at this very border where the works of Basic and Renard intersect: by exploring the liminal spaces of the human experience, and by negotiating the threshold between organic and inorganic, human and non-human, live and dead.
