Unfamiliar is a collaboration with physician associate Debbie Jegede and senior curator Lowri Jones at the Royal College of Physicians, London. The images honour the historical significance of the objects whilst also transporting them to a realm beyond any specific time period; a new, undefined space for the viewer to study and re-interpret the items. Bringing together Theo Deproost's creative skill-set and Debbie Jegede's medical experience also highlights the efficacy of collaborations between the arts and sciences.

“Debbie’s clinical curiosity and Theo’s creative eye bring together the worlds of medicine and art, as they reinterpret items from our medical and fine art collections… offering new, altered perspectives that challenge our understanding and impression of supposedly inert museum objects.” Royal College of Physicians

“The images in Unfamiliar feel celebratory. They push the limits of still life photography, but also highlight the skill involved in creating the original objects. For the non-scientific viewer, they offer fascinating historical insights into the medical profession.” British Journal of Photography
