Lorraine Clarke's exhibit Nosce Te Ipsum, which translates to "know thyself", meditates on the connection between magic, medicine and religion through a collection of installations, soundscapes and other media. Invariably the Adults Sip Nectar, a family tree of framed butterflies, represents the phases of stem-cell development, while collections of amulets and fertility dolls comment on the connection between magic and the human body. The exhibit's title installation is a triptych that features paintings of anatomical and biomedical images on an altar and of surgical tools on prayer stools. Each night of the exhibition features a different live performance.
