Donated bodies, imported into the UK for biomedical research, ultimately reach industrial incinerators – but who performs this disposal work, and how?
Building on my PhD work, Respectful Disposal explores the overlooked intersection of biomedicine and waste infrastructure through large format drawings and three-dimensional objects. Zooming into infrastructural rituals through an architectural lens, the exhibition asks broader questions: How do people become materially disposable?
