In the collage series Ghost Populations, Ines Doujak assembles imagery from twentieth-century historical prints to create phantasmagorical entities—strange bodies and faces materialized from botanical charts and medical illustrations. By turns monstrous and celebratory, tender and fraught, Doujak’s collages attest to the complex and hybrid relations between humans, animals, plants, bacteria, viruses, and other non-living things. In anthropology and population genetics, the term “ghost population” describes the missing genetic relatives of a known population: a group of humans who have left traces in the DNA of their descendants but no physical archaeological evidence, and whose existence can only be inferred statistically. Through this work, Doujak envisions a hybrid entity whose form is pieced together from human and non-human kin. Against the backdrop of a faded and scratched landscape from a period of colonial natural history, the being appears to speak with multiple voices—through disease, struggle, decay, and recombination, raising questions about the utterances emerging from our current moment of collapse, transformation, and repair.
