DIAGNOSTIC F20.9

2014

Diagnostic F20.9 is born of my interest in cerebral control mechanisms in regard to the body and thought. As a student of cognitive dysfunction, I immersed myself in the medical milieu of psychiatry, and I discovered a widespread disease, a victim of much prejudice and yet still misunderstood by mainstream culture: schizophrenia. The different encounters and exchanges that I was able to have with schizophrenics gave me the desire to transpose this mental disorder into a corporal vocabulary. People that are so rich in sensibility and intelligence merit, in my opinion, a witness that destigmatizes this disease.
