The photographs document the framed art found in the waiting rooms of three separate physicians: two psychoanalysts and a neurologist. The images sourced from these waiting rooms are reproductions of paintings and drawings, both notable and otherwise. A waiting room can be perceived as a spatial limbo.
A level of uncertainty is often present in this space, as it harbours the wait prior to a treatment or a diagnosis. The images are displaced through this unemotional and distanced photographic documentation and hung in a gallery setting. Each image has run through a sequence of exchanges since its making, circulating in art’s hierarchies and value systems—and museum gift shops—before ending up in the waiting room. The dislocation is an examination of how waiting rooms tend to neutralise the images held within them and vice versa.
