Left: another view from the back of "Bio"; right: a view from the front.
"Bio" is composed of drawings sandwiched between two layers of drafting film. In order to clearly see some of the drawings, viewers were asked to lightly touch the film to bring images into focus. The drawings were collected from Schirmer's journals recounting experimentation and conditioning/torture sessions from her childhood.
