Slips of the Tongue
Shortlisted and commissioned for The Bienale of Craft and Design 2023, at Copenhagen Contemporary, Denmark. Generously supported by Statens Kunstfond and Danmarks Nationalbanks Jubilæumsfond.
Slips of the Tongue confronts the objectification of patients and the increasing integration of digital technology within health care. Informed by her own experiences of illness, Gilmour challenges traditional craft norms to reveal how verbal blunders and digital glitches can exacerbate vulnerability. In its exploration of the Western medical gaze, the project unravels notions of wholeness, perfectibility and oneness, urging a deeper grasp of our sensorium amid the digital era.
