You may wonder what "pharmakon" is pharmakon ...
I could say more, and will...
I'm working on a paper on "gender dysphoria" as a comedic case of the pharmakon (with John August), and then today I read an article that uses this image from the artist David Sullivan, and a very interesting project using art to encounter disasters in the biocultural world... and dissipating and recalibrating "hope" in the future... Sullivan's image originally is in color, reproduced in the book I was reading in b/w and I am risking to re-color it in a spontaneous way with this pinkish haze and with Fear and Love words... I won't go into why I have worked on this image, creating a co-constructing piece of art, but it is interesting to me in my own inquiry into the pharmakon...
Please take time, if you are interested, to see David Sullivan's art video film, of which this still image was taken... it is from a continuously looping animated 3D painting in HD with sound 2008. See multispecies-salon.org/sullivan
