Corps Etranger - Foreign Body(1994)
'Foreign Body' is a video featuring the use of two routinely used medical imaging processes: endoscopy in which fibre optics scan the upper part of the digestive system, and coloscopy for the colon and intestines. There is a sense of overwhelminng intimacy which is further heightened by a soundtrack of her own breathing and heart beat that accompanies the video through the soft black acoustic fabric lining.
"She invites the veiwer to a close up view of her own body - from the dry landscape that is her skin to the timeless, primitive, and unchanged glistening cavernous world beneath."
