Essay published in the issue Ombra by TBD Magazine
“Attraverso una disamina delle tecnologie visive in ambito ospedaliero, e dei suoi legami con figure come il celebre illusionista Harry Houdini, il testo "We looked in vain at the darkness. Modernità, viscere, mangiaspade" di Simone Molinari inaugura la riflessione del volume e indaga l’intreccio di clinico, magico ed esoterico, all’origine della medicina contemporanea. Per lungo tempo, infatti, fra i luoghi più bui e remoti della terra si contava anche il corpo umano, insondabile in vivo. Il primo tentativo di effettuare una gastroscopia getta luce sull’interno, nel senso più letterale del termine: seppure debolmente, i primi dispositivi gastroscopici illuminano le viscere e al contempo inaugurano le tecniche di imaging del corpo.”
“Through an examination of visual technology in the medical environment and its links with figures such as the famous illusionist Harry Houdini, the text 'We looked in vain at the darkness. Modernity, Guts, Sword-Eaters' by Simone Molinari opens the book and explores the intertwining of the clinical, magical and esoteric at the origins of contemporary medicine. For a long time, the human body, inscrutable in vivo, was one of the darkest and most remote places on earth. The first attempt at gastroscopy literally shed light on the inside: the first gastroscopes illuminated the viscera, albeit dimly, and at the same time heralded the advent of body imaging.”
