Two people, Nunzio and Kalinda were each admitted to hospital at the age of two with kidney problems. One of Nunzio’s two kidneys wasn’t functioning, while Kalinda’s two kidneys were in reflux sending things back inside the body, rather than excreting outwards. This show has been developed side-by-side, two kidneys in a body of work to support our individual explorations. The work is concentrated on loss of autonomy, the interface between body-and-machine, involuntary excretions and dispossession-of-body. The hospital experience residing in our bones; the invasion traceable through the urinary tract and muscle-memory.
