In the fictional world of Ephem three characters are infected with a fungal parasite. They each choose a different coping mechanism resulting in three storylines: suppression, surrender and symbiosis.
Depending on the interaction, the parasite can act as a catalyst for change, connection or destruction.
„You are what you host“ deals with the question of how to interact with parts of yourself that you don't want to see or accept and how those parts form ourselves and our relationship with everything around us.
