Clinicals, Video Installation, 2017

For a long time pharmaceutical testing was only conducted on male subjects, human and animal. Many of the medications that have been on the market for decades still only contain dosages based on the male body, which includes their weight, genetics, ethnicity, and race. This short video, played on loop was apart of a gallery installation for my graduate fall show. The video was shown inside of a viewing box and was only accessible through a peep hole that was placed on a pill. This pill was on the tongue of a women which, metaphorically represents the “other” that has exposed these practices in recent years, along with the “other” that has taken medication created for bodies unlike it’s own.
