Body Stones and Other Bodies is a series of conversations led by artist alfonso borragán with artist Sarah Bayliss. These discussions explore the strange gems generated inside our bodies: kidney stones, bladder stones, gallstones, rhinoliths, pancreatic stones, and sialoliths. The stones, sedimented within us, defy conventional definitions. Neither stone nor tissue, they exist in a state of in-between. These ambiguous entities, currently housed in the UCL Pathology Museum, represent the "other body"—the otherness of our matter, and maybe a possible material form of Spinoza's trans-individual.

THE VISIBLE AND INVISIBLE

In this chapter we talk with the social anthropologist Roger Sansi. Roger has worked on Afro-Brazilian culture and religion, the concept of the fetish, and on contemporary art. His publications include the books Fetishes and Monuments, Sorcery in the Black Atlantic, Economies of relation: Money And Personalism in the Lusophone World. One of Roger’s important researches has been on the animist religion Candomblé, which we discover more about in our conversation, exploring the subtle borders between the visible and invisible, the material and immaterial.
