Brain Terrains
Brain Terrains is an ongoing body of work by Hanif Janmohamed. A wandering, quixotic expedition through the common visual lexicons of our human and planetary bodies – a reframe of our inhabitation across scale through mash-ups of medical and satellite imaging. Combining medical imagery – CT scans, MRIs, X-rays – and satellite imagery from NASA’s Earth Observatory project, the project traverses the uncommon commonality of our inner and outer geographies. Brain Terrains is a journey and exploration of the interstitial, liminal space and connective tissue of our psychogeographic formation.
