Description

Kent Krugh’s work as a medical physicist provided him access to a linear accelerator. He placed the doll on top of x-ray film and bombarded it with high energy x-rays, then photographed its outside with a digital camera. The x-ray photogram and the digital photograph were combined in Photoshop to create an image that could not exist without photography.
