Bringing together the artist’s own photographs, found

archival material, handmade drawings, oral accounts

and extracts from literature, Lay Her Down Upon

Her Back looks at the history of medical mistreatment

and uneven power relations between male doctors and

female patients through a type of photography where

evidence itself plays the role of symptom. For both

in photography and in hysteria it is the surface that

carries meaning and depth, providing the space onto

which meaning plays out.
