The Watch Man is an art/science video installation produced by contemporary artist Shona Illingworth in collaboration with Leeds University neuropsychologist Professor Martin A Conway, an expert in the field of trauma memory.

The work documents the experiences of an 80-year-old watchmaker who was traumatised as a youth during World War II.

An interesting insight into the working of the human mind under stress and yet another example of the Wellcome Collection's ability to blend art and science.

Until 11.01.09.
