Injection Site: Making the Vaccine Visible, an ongoing series by Linda Alterwitz, invites viewers into the inner workings of the body, in a series of illustrations about how the COVID-19 vaccine reacts in peoples arms at the site of injection. In this remarkable photographic study, the artist uses a high-resolution thermal camera to document and track the body’s reaction to the vaccine. The resulting photographs reveal unique immunological responses, and provide an entry point into a dialogue about public health, personal choice, and our responsibility to one another.
