There are many paths circumnavigating the role of museology in cultural production; they provide ethnographic clues and leaking traces. There are the sociological inquiries of the late Pierre Bourdieu into the roles of 'capital' as a type of knowledge system. There is James Clifford's notion of the 'art-culture' system that reframes modes of Western subjectivity and thus the postcolonial museums of the future. In A to Z of Health and Wealth, Alex Rizkalla begins at the socio-political model of the Medical Museum as a site fecund in questioning the roles of cultural, social and economic capital. Through a plethora of sequence projections fusing image and text within various temporal moments, Rizkalla provides an ethnographic terrain in which the museum itself transforms into its own tourist. - Larissa Hjorth
