Museum Exhibition Panel with Surgical Scene, Manchester

1 October 2019 · Manchester

A large-format monochrome surgical photograph mounted on a bold blue-and-orange exhibition stand inside an industrial museum space. Two surgeons in full theatre dress — caps, masks, gowns — work over a patient under the bright wash of an operating light. The print's high contrast reads cleanly from a distance, which is precisely the point: the exhibition design trusts the photograph to do the work. Above, an exposed brick ceiling with warm pendant lighting frames the industrial interior that houses it.
