crip_anthology (2016-2024) 

is a narrative game/interactive essay that centers the subjectivity of the patient within the medical-industrial complex, driven by my own experience through a lens of Cripistemology and institutional critique. 

The story is told through a recursive loop of (limited) gestures and liminal spaces: between hospital wards, waiting rooms and counselling rooms, and blends between two perspectives: perspective of the crip self (me); and the gaze of the system (CCTV). It asks what it means to heal, and confronts the contradictory void of trust that resides between patients and doctors.
