Foto Wien 2025: Panel discussion “Photography, Medicine and Power” with Monika Pietrzak-Franger

The visual representation of the body—from 19th-century clinical photography to today’s AI-generated diagnostics—has long been a battleground of science, power, and desire.

In the context of the Foto Wien Days, you are invited to join us for an exploration of how lens-based media engages with medical visuality, past and present. We will discuss how photographic practices can reclaim taboo or marginalized experiences and help reimagine bodily autonomy, health, and pleasure in the age of algorithmic care.

With:

  • Fiona Tan, Artist, Amsterdam
  • André Rendeiro, Principal Investigator, CeMM—Research Center for Molecular Medicine, Vienna

In conversation with:

  • Monika Pietrzak-Franger, Professor of British Cultural and Literary Studies, University of Vienna

In cooperation with the University of Vienna.
