After “The Workings of Human Physiognomy” by de Boulogne and Tournachon

This series of ink on paper drawings was inspired by an 1862 photographic portfolio, The Workings of Human Physiognomy, discovered during a 2015 portrait exhibition at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. The original work, by neurologist Duchenne de Boulogne and photographer Adrien Tournachon, explored the intersection of science and art—a recurring theme in the artist’s practice. Responding to how museum presentation shapes perception, the artist recreated the photographic plates as illusionistic drawings, enhanced with laser-cut text and painted reflections of gallery lighting. These visual elements highlight the layered, indexical relationship between image, object, and institutional display.
