screening program

Description

A screening program is a periodic ritual in which every inch of the body is judged by numbers. While it transforms anxieties about health into a marketable commodity, its results report skillfully weaves in an illusion of reassurance. Participants willingly queue up, even as doubts quietly accumulate in their minds. The paradox of waiting for a ’no issues’ result becoming a new source of stress is embodied in this practice. Ultimately, under the guise of health management, what gets consumed is a sliver of peace and a mountain of anxiety.
