Here’s one for your diary,\u00a0an exhibition of images by\u00a0Deborah Padfield, in collaboration with\u00a0patients & clinicians at\u00a0University College London Hospitals\u00a0NHS Foundation Trust, entitled\u00a0Can you see Pain? <\/em>Anyone who knows Deborah’s work from her previous exhibition and book entitled Perceptions of Pain <\/em>won’t want to miss this.<\/p>\n

MASK:MIRROR:MEMBRANE is the result of a collaboration with pain specialist Professor Joanna\u00a0Zakrzewska and facial pain clinicians and patients at UCLH. The images exhibited evolved out of\u00a0a two-year artist\u2019s residency investigating facial pain and the role photographs can play in its\u00a0communication. It involved co-creating photographic images with patients that reflected their\u00a0personal experience of pain.<\/p>\n

Chronic pain is invisible, complex, and notoriously difficult to communicate via language. With\u00a0facial pain, difficulties of communication are exacerbated, as the very \u2018canvas\u2019 normally used to\u00a0express it, is itself in pain. The face becomes either a mask hiding the emotions behind it or a\u00a0frozen mirror reflecting the projections of others. Difficulties in communicating their experience\u00a0serve only to increase the isolation, fear and loneliness of sufferers. The work gives visual form to\u00a0this invisible and subjective experience. With a focus on facial and oral medicine and portraiture,\u00a0it explores whether images can help us negotiate between different perspectives \u2013 how we\u00a0perceive and what we project onto \u2018the other\u2019.<\/p>\n

Featuring photographs co-created by Deborah Padfield with patients, the exhibition also\u00a0includes an original film installation, drawings and photograms resulting from joint workshops with\u00a0patients and clinicians at the National Portrait Gallery, as well as self-portraits by facial pain\u00a0sufferers. Context is provided through personal testimonies, medical texts, and artist and patient\u00a0notes exploring facial pain and the portrait from multiple perspectives.<\/p>\n

The project is also developing an image resource in the form of a pack of \u2018Pain Cards\u2019 as an\u00a0innovative communication tool for use within the NHS. Visitors will have a chance to experiment\u00a0with the cards and are invited to give their responses to them.<\/p>\n

The exhibition demonstrates that images can capture aspects of the pain experience difficult to\u00a0describe in words alone, and elicit new information for both patient and clinician. It explores the\u00a0means by which aesthetic spaces allow access to other ways of \u2018knowing\u2019 illness.<\/p>\n

Two evening events accompanying the exhibition will promote discussion of the issues raised: an<\/p>\n

Artist\u2019s Forum on Thursday 7th July at 4.30pm before the opening, and an interdisciplinary\u00a0discussion with invited panellists on Thursday 14th July at 6.30pm. Some of the participating\u00a0patients will be present at both events.<\/p>\n
