Corinne May Botz’s photos of medical actors, simulating illness in trainings for medical students are simultaneously moving and not-quite-believable. Though they don’t depict real scenarios, Botz’s photos nevertheless strongly tap a sense of dread and helplessness when our bodies fail to function as they should. (At Benrubi Gallery through Feb 6th).
