Skin (II) by Rebecca Guberman and Vestment by Valerie Caris both use medical records as media for consideration of issues of control or involvement in AIDS treatments, the complexities of personal treatment regimens, and the ways in which AIDS constructs our individual, and society's, perceptions of identity. Guberman transposes detailed notes from her medical history and her own journal writings over microscopic imagery of blood cells taken from medical textbooks, making an effective comparison between the formal, clinical history of illness and lived experience.
