Photographer Tim Wainwright and sound artist John Wynne worked together as artists-in-residence at Harefield Hospital over the course of one year, photographing and recording patients, the devices they’re attached to or have implanted in them, and the hospital itself.

The project was led by the artists but guided and developed through interaction with the participants.
Tim photographed the subjects and discussed with them their experience of the visual landscape of the hospital. The patients often chose how they wished to be represented in their portrait, and the environmental photographs often reflect visual marks or objects identified by them.

John recorded the subjects, often at their bedside, as they spoke about their experience of transplantation or about whatever else they wanted to relate. The artists’ conversations with patients were largely without a pre-conceived agenda, though John did ask most of them for their reflections on the soundscape of the hospital, and their responses often informed what environmental sounds he recorded in the hospital and what he subsequently did with those sounds.
