      To the left is a photo of a dark performance space with some chairs scattered on the black floor. A hazy white pillar of light shines down from above. To the right is an x-ray image of Louise Ahl’s torso. The x-ray has a translucent greyscale glow. Bones, tissues and organs are layered in thin white veils against a black background. At the front of the chest is a rectangular shape, which is a chest drain. The two lung cavities are dark with translucent ribs across. One arm is reaching up, the other is bent at the elbow as the newly inserted chest drain is restricting movement.
