| book description |

Artists from Ana Mendieta to Camille Henrot and Barbara Hammer react to the politics of care, autonomy and objectivity behind medical imagery Published with Museum of the Moving Image. From Wilhelm Roentgen to the Lumière brothers, the birth of X-ray and cinema technology occurred almost simultaneously in 1895. While cinema has expanded its creative boundaries to encompass fact, fiction or a combination of the two, medical imagery has continued to be regarded as an objective truth. Overexposed explores the impact of medical imaging technology on contemporary life and image culture. The exhibition and its corresponding catalog trace the evolution and expansion of technologies such as the PET scan, CT scan, ultrasound and fMRI through the 20th century and into the present day. Artists include: Barbara Hammer, Ana Mendieta, Mona Hatoum, Peggy Ahwesh, Shu Lea Cheang, Liz Magic Laser, Panteha Abareshi, Janine Antoni, Blythe Bohnen, Erin Jane Nelson, Josephine Pryde, Camille Henrot, Heji Shin.
