MOTHER MEDICINE
The original images in the series "Mother Medicine" come from medical archives in The Wellcome Collection, London. They all show an artificial and sterile (Western) conception of medicine, with a quasi-retro-futuristic aesthetic: the Modernist dream of progress and machines.
This sterility is opposed to the natural processes of the anthotype print: the images are developed in sunlight, using emulsions made from natural and local ingredients - fruits, flowers, vegetables and seeds - all with healing properties.
Prints developed at the Mexican art residency Casa Lu, at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020
