The Imaginary Bodies series features images from the Visible Human Project projected onto the artist’s body, resulting in distorted, abstract shapes with only tenuous connections to a recognisable human form. These projections transform the anatomical imagery into curious, fluid shapes, emphasising the dissonance between medical representation and the personal, lived experience of the body.

In the second iteration, Refigurations of Lived Experience, the printed shapes were traced with white ink, further abstracting the forms and highlighting the subjective interpretation of physical identity. Through these distorted visuals, the series questions the medicalisation of bodies, challenging the idea that clinical representations can fully capture individual experience. Imaginary Bodies underscores the gap between objective imaging and the complex, multifaceted reality of living in a body.

The work forms part of The Absence of Alice.
