  • The uncanny in Tuscany : on view at Cortona on the move photo festival, the exhibition Test Subjects is a selection of images from several American archives of scientific and military research featuring human bodies placed in unusual positions, often in mysterious environments. The bodies are examined, manipulated, measured, quantified, and subjected to analyses that imply some form of resistance or physical reaction.
    The visitors may either view the images with no captions, as the seminal work Evidence by Sultan & Mandel (1977), or push a button in the installation to discover more about the sources and context…
    Our unshakable faith in science is challenged by the very images that were supposed to validate it.
