Abstract:
Between
abstraction
and
representation
we
can
uncover
new
meaning,
make
the
invisible
visible,
and
start
to
understand
the
complexity
of
interpretation.
Out
of
Body
is
a
photographic
series
exploring
notions
of
the
photographic
real
and
the
subjective
and
objective
experience
associated
with
medical
imaging.
Through
direct
indexical
impressions,
Out
of
Body
disrupts
notions
of
the
photographic
real,
the
uncanny,
and
the
otherwise
unphotographable
and
asks
the
viewer
to
explore
the
interpretive
experiences
associated
with
both
artistic
and
scientific
representations
of
the
human
body.
