Ann Heinrich and Leon Palmer : Phiz

Phiz, A Year of the Artist Residency at the Pathology Department of Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital

Phiz is a microscopic journey across a thin section of the human face. Over a thousand photographs have been used to map the surface of the artists' faces using a digital camera and stereoscopic microscope. These have been joined to create two long photographic transparencies set up to form a corridor through which the viewer can walk. The resulting images are at a similar magnification to that used in Pathology to analyse blood samples.
