Ingrid Dabringer has shifted her interest from maps to x-rays in her recent work with some really intriguing results.

Dabringer on her work:

Body of Work is a presentation of colourfully illustrated X-rays presented on hospital imaging light-boards. As an artist I am continuously interested in the tools of humanity. Through the use of X-rays, shapes are created through the imaging and flattening of the human body. An entire alternate reality emerges through how humanity sees itself and the structures it uses for self-analysis.

Human tools define our civilization’s values, progress and intentions. By using X-rays I am able to quite literally comment on how we see ourselves. Importantly, it’s also how we see ourselves when the “chips are down,” when we’re vulnerable. North Americans are systematically taught to look for answers outside of themselves; to trust empirical evidence over intuition. Yet with x-rays it comes full circle in that we go outside of ourselves to look inside ourselves. And, although the natural organic lines and forms of anatomy are lyrical and soothing, they also speak to our human fragility…
