Susan Jahoda’s work focuses on relationships between physical bodies and abstract social principles. In this print she layers a photographic enlargement of an empty room with a contact print of an X-ray depicting a ribcage. The hollow space of the body cavity echoes the barren architectural interior, implying a sense of abandonment or neglect.
