Bodies Under Investigation is a photographic installation of multiple digital archival inkjet prints of various sizes. The installation is accompanied by a short looped digital video of 3 minutes duration.

This body of work concerns the interactions and transformations of the body as it gets in contact with medical technology. It is a performance of bodies that refers to an hypothetical and fictitious medical examination. Bodies are covered by powder referring to the clinic and antiseptic appearance required before any medical examination. Specific types of numbering and text, diagrams and rules, used by medical imaging, are ascribed on the surface of the bodies. The images convey a screening, a viewing of the body that is not seen when x-rayed. In this way the fragmented body demands its wholeness/references back and manifests itself as a site of resistance.
