Plastic particles in my testicles is a personal response to microplastics pollution in human bodies illustrated by plastic analogue positive film photography.

In a poem on the cover, Bakker writes how plastic particles are now everywhere in his body, ‘in my testicles, in my lungs, in my liver, my kidneys, my stomach, my brain’.

Inside the book he asks ‘if photographs are made with plastics and plastics break down into microplastics…(which) find their way into human bodies, how much photography is inside of me?’

As microplastics know no borders, the title appears in three languages: English, French and Dutch – Plastic particles in my testicles / Des particules de plastique dans mes testicules / Plastic deeltjes in mijn testikels.
