There is always a risk of suffocation when swallowed
Henttu Sini
“There is always a risk of suffocation when swallowed” explores corporeal autonomous functions. What happens when a process taken for granted is disrupted for one reason or another? The act of swallowing compares to various normative functions: the subject suppresses their needs and emotions until swallowing becomes impossible.
