Featuring over one hundred photographs from visits to more than thirty-five laboratories, research centres, and field stations around the world, Mark Kasumovic's A Human Laboratory proposes many possible, yet unresolved, narratives. Photographing scientific instruments, Kasumovic suggests their similarity to the camera as influential recording devices that enhance our understanding of the contemporary social landscape.
