HospitalA hospital is usually associated with clinical activity, but as the Focal Point Gallery is about to prove, it can also be the inspiration for some powerful art.

| | The relationship between the institutional setting of a hospital and the people that use them is explored in Katja Hock's photographic exhibition at the Focal Point Gallery in Southend.
 | | Ordinary scenes are transformed. |
Many of Hock's photographs show the usually busy hospitals without any human presence, encouraging the viewer to use their memory and experience of hospital activity to fill that void. Some of the images show some easily identifiable locations of the hospitals such as pillows, waiting rooms and operating theatres. Others are more abstract, such as patterns formed through condensation. Visitors To complement 'Hospital', the gallery are holding a small exhibition of photographs from the Southend Central Museum's archives. It will feature images from the Queen Mary's Royal Navy Hospital during World War One, the Victoria Hospital during the 1880s and the first foundations of Southend General Hospital from the 1930s. Both exhibitions begin on Saturday, 9, June and run until Saturday, 21, July. | | | last updated: 05/06/07 | SEE ALSO
