Featuring photographs, videos, and archival materials, Michal Heiman: Chronically Linked explores themes of psychoanalysis, asylums, and oppression through a number of recent projects including Michal Heiman Tests (1997-2012); Radical Link: A New Community of Women, 1855-2021 (2013-present); and Hearing (2020).
The latter projects found their genesis in 2013 when Heiman, doing research for another project, first encountered a photograph of a young woman taken around 1855 at the Surrey County Lunatic Asylum in London by Dr. Hugh Welch Diamond. A few years later, Heiman came across a similar image, this of Maria Dominica D’Alberto who was photographed by Oreste Bertani at the San Servolo Asylum in Venice in January 1880. Heiman recognized a version of herself in both images, thus setting her on a path to recontextualize the photographs through her artistic process and research. In particular, she considers the political, cultured, gendered, and psychic conditions of ‘return’ -- both returns to the past and rights of return.
Heiman explores her life through psychoanalysis, importing diagnostic and psychoanalytic methods into her own artistic practice. An outcome of this process are the Michal Heiman Tests (M.H.T.s), which are modeled after psychology’s Thematic Apperception Test (TAT). Conceptual works grounded in the practice of photography, the ‘M.H.T.s’ are composed of archival detritus salvaged by Heiman.
