Katherine Du Tiel

San Francisco-based photographer Katherine Du Tiel creates images by projecting anatomical illustrations onto living bodies and other three-dimensional anatomical models. The resulting images play with the separation between anatomical representation and reality. In one image, a textbook image of a back is projected onto a model’s side. In another, the muscular structure of a hand appears on the surface of the skin rather than under it. The process of anatomical representation requires a separation between the dissected mind and the dissected self. Anatomical representation is always both Self and Other. Du Tiel’s exploration plays with the blurred line between the two, suggesting the futility and humor of trying to integrate them into one.
