摘要:Contemporary regimes of punishment inflict time on prisoners.Implicitly durational, incarceration allegedly focuses less onprisoners’ bodies and more on their psyche (Foucault 1977). Yet, asFoucault rhetorically asks, “what would a non-corporal punishmentbe?” (Foucault 1977: 16). That is, despite the shift away fromcorporal punishment in Australian jurisdictions, the body of theprisoner is necessarily implicated in and affected by incarceration andtemporality. Imprisonment inevitably involves physical deprivationsthrough incapacitation and traces of torture so that the “pains ofimprisonment” (Sykes 1958: 63–83) and the passing of time areinscribed on the prisoner’s body. As such, incarceration remains“profoundly corporal” (Hyde 1997: 188, 190–191) and is potently“lived and felt” (Chamberlen 2016: 215). It is in this context that Iparticipated in Doing Time (2015), a group exhibition of five invitedartists that responded to notions of detention and isolation. Theexhibition, sponsored by the Sydney Institute of Criminology andSydney Law School, was presented at the University of SydneyUnion’s Verge Gallery on the campus of the University of Sydney.
