The Art of Our Bodies



I really like seeing things in its true form with all the little details. These mouldings shows the detailed network of the heart and bloodstream in certain areas of the body. This is something that really interests me, and would be an interesting thing to show to an audience. We do not get to explore what is inside us often, we just accept it as part of us without really thinking about it in detail.

"These photographs both fascinate and repulse, but most importantly, like the exhibit, they educate viewers, allowing us to get a glimpse of how our bodies function. After the initial shock of seeing our insides so exposed, viewers begin to discover the great detail in our veins and the spectrum of colour found just in and around the heart. Our bodies present themselves as works of art, in this case, exhibited and then photographed.

The aim of BODIES: The Exhibition is to “[allow] visitors to see the human body’s inner beauty in educational and awe-inspiring ways”, with bodies and organs preserved using “a revolutionary process called polymer preservation, in which human tissue is permanently preserved using liquid silicone rubber.” Every aspect of the body is covered, allowing curious minds to see up close that which most of us never get to see."
