Decay Theory är en samling verk informerade av de svenska sockerexperimenten som utfördes 1945-1954, på Vipeholms Sjukhus i södra Sverige. Blandningen av arkivmaterial och Littlewoods egna studiofotografier utforskar nya möjligheter, där konstnären skapar ett omkontextualiserat arkiv av tänderna och munnen.

Decay Theory is a body of work informed by the Swedish sugar experiments carried out between 1945-1954 at Vipeholm Hospital in Southern Sweden. The mixture of archival imagery and Littlewood’s own studio photography examines new visual possibilities, where the artist creates a recontextualised archive of teeth and the mouth.
