Artist Residency Site Specific Artwork from Ruth White on Vimeo.


​Untitled: Projection in the Royal Liverpool Infirmary which closed it's doors to the public in 1978. 

A work that was part of a residency I did at the Royal Liverpool Infirmary hospital.  I projected a disturbing, silent film, made by an unknown director which I had found on the British Pathe website, into a space once occupied by a hospital bed. The film shows a number of old people being dressed or undressed or fed by nurses on a hospital ward. There is a lengthy scene of an old woman who barely moves and appears almost dead, being given a bed bath in front of the group of male film makers who are seen in one of the shots. 

Photographs of the installation.
