A Human Laboratory

Featuring over one hundred photographs from visits to more than thirty-five laboratories, research centres, and field stations around the world, Mark Kasumovic’s A Human Laboratory proposes many possible, yet unresolved, narratives within the history of scientific thought. Hosted within Canada's oldest University run art gallery, McIntosh Gallery at Western University, A Human Laboratory was the culmination of five years of photographic, practice-based research. It explored the uncanny relationships between the photographic camera and scientific instrumentation, via documentary photographs, video works, large scale installations and interactive media installations.
