Identity: Eight rooms, nine lives

FREE EXHIBITION: WELLCOME COLLECTION
26 November 2009-6 April 2010

"Nine individual stories introduce eight distinct rooms. One room begins with the story of scientist Alec Jeffreys' invention of DNA fingerprinting 25 years ago. The diaries of Samuel Pepys introduce another. While self-portraiture is explored through the work of the Jewish artist Claude Cahun, who despite being sentenced to death for acts of resistance, survived the Nazi occupation of Jersey." [Wellcome Collection]

(What is a man without a moustache?)" LLEM

Remember this. Two figures. One stands illuminated in the open doorway.
Obscured by shadow he writes the other supposing the self.
Remember this. An awareness of self contingent on memory

CLEFT
The purest monument to the nullity of art had shifted reality which at once had the sense to reproduce itself. A coal or chalk first imitated man in a yard or more of muslin. A yard or more of muslin.
