Interesting AND disturbing. Do not see the need for the wig and the pearls. Reminds me of the "Meat People" exhibition that shows up at OMSI occasionally.
ReplyDeleteI bet this piece is called "Autopsy". Very weird. Fascinating. Thanks for sharing this. I know I tell you this every day, but you find the most interesting stuff...
ReplyDeleteOMG! This is quite «special».
ReplyDeleteSurely a display for medical education.
Reminded me about that «saint woman» I saw in St Malo, France, cathedral that was in such a glass coffin. She was all waxed over her and her hair were like as she died a day before even if she was dead for one thousand years.
She was dressed and we could see her face and hands crossed and there too she was as she could get up and talk to us. We could see all her veins and nice skin.
It was very special one of the most bizare thing I saw in my life.
Anon@8:08am - I agree that this is both interesting and disturbing. Maybe the wig and pearls are to give her the illusion of life? I've seen that exhibit of "meat people" and it's very fascinating.
ReplyDeleteuptonking - Thanks. It's because I spent way too much time surfing the "internets".
Becoming familiar with what a person will one day be faced with - i.e. death - should be part of the basic learning, and therefore the exposure. Do you remember that skeleton hanging in the science classroom when you were a teen? Therein lies the true meaning of the lesson: vanity in disguise.
ReplyDelete@JiEL: was it this one?
