Genetic Portraits
Radical Love, Heather Dewey-Hagborg (2016)
Incarcerated for disclosing classified information to WikiLeaks, Chelsea Manning could not be photographed while in prison. These portraits were generated using only her genetic information, extracted and interpreted from hair trimmings and cheek swabs. Until her release in May 2017, these were the only public images of Manning following her gender transition in 2016. The portrait is composed of two faces, each showing a nuance in gender. They reveal the wealth of information available in the smallest traces of our bodies.
