5. October 2025 | 16 o'clock
From nineteenth-century clinical photography to today’s AI-generated diagnostics, the visual representation of the body has been a battleground of science, power, and desire. Together with artist Fiona Tan and scientist André Rendeiro, we explore how lens-based media engage with medical visuality—past and present—and how photographic practices might reclaim taboo or marginalized experiences. How can images help us reimagine bodily autonomy, health, and pleasure in the age of algorithmic care?
