- Summary:
- "From Wilhelm Roentgen to the Lumière brothers, the birth of X-ray and cinema technology occurred almost simultaneously in 1895. While cinema has expanded its creative boundaries to encompass fact, fiction or a combination of the two, medical imagery has continued to be regarded as an objective truth. Overexposed explores the impact of medical imaging technology on contemporary life and image culture. The exhibition and its corresponding catalog trace the evolution and expansion of technologies such as the PET scan, CT scan, ultrasound and fMRI through the 20th century and into the present day"--Amazon.com.
