- The text analyses the unique publication called A working hand (1939) by a Lvov-based dermatologist Henryk Mierzecki, which also includes his wife’s photos. The analysis of their collaborative medical-artistic project reveals how a developing occupational medicine tried to describe the relationship between the bodies of certain people and their everyday work or occupation. The research was based on diagnoses of health damage and different stages of disease caused by working environment, working tools and external factors. Mierzecki’s thoughts can be interpreted in the context of photographical and archiving research – as Allan Sekula did. Photography was an important part of the project for dr Mierzecki – he used it as an illustration, a catalogue tool and a user’s manual helping to identify certain cases. His wife’s photographs are regarded as an example of artistic expression used as means of scientific documentation, where an aesthetic aspect is as important as a cognitive one. The whole project is also categorised as representing working people. This representation, as well as its loss, has been analysed by Georges Didi-Huberman and regarded by him as possible to obtain by mechanical reproduction and the cinematic and photographic media.
