Unfamiliar

‘Unfamiliar’ is a collaboration between photographer Theo Deproost, physician associate Debbie Jegede and senior curator Lowri Jones, commissioned by the Royal College of Physicians, London. The images honour the historical significance of objects from the college's museum stores, whilst also transporting them to a realm beyond any specific time period; a new, undefined space for the viewer to study and re-interpret the items. Bringing together Theo Deproost's creative skill-set and Debbie Jegede's medical experience also highlights the efficacy of collaborations between the arts and sciences.
