Lay Her Down Upon Her Back

Lay Her Down Upon Her Back – Bringing together photographs of the artist, found archival documents, hand-drawn sketches, oral histories and literary excerpts, Lay Her Down Upon Her Back looks at the history of medical maltreatment and the unequal power relations between doctors and patients, through a type of photography in which the evidence itself plays the role of symptom. Indeed, in photography as in hysteria, it is the surface that carries meaning and depth, providing the space over which meaning unfolds.
