This print-based installation traces the processes of knowledge production whereby a French-Canadian man, Gaëtan Dugas, became known in popular media as “Patient Zero” of the HIV/AIDS epidemic. Through reproducing four key texts that contributed to the popularisation of this belief, this work slows down the misappropriation of medical knowledge intended to isolate the virus for a multi-media avalanche which acted to criminalise promiscuity and shift the blame towards the sexual behaviour of a community rather than state neglect.
