Corpse art

[Sidnami]

Who is the guy from Germany that does the art with the human corpses? Some of his works was in the movie "The House on Haunted Hill" and has been displayed in several magazines. He's takes donated bodies and add resin after shaping them the way he's going to use them. This also includes seeing the inner workings of them too.

Are you thinking of Dr. Gunther von Hagens creator of Body Worlds?

Professor Gunther von Hagens, of the University of Heidelberg in Germany

(I didn't actually remember it, was at a site not too long ago about him)

Haa!

I should have known I wouldn't answer in time with a question like that on *this* board.

not ALL of his bodies were donated, though he got better about it.

Last I heard, he was trying to open up a mass production factory in Germany to do his art on a larger scale, but the government said no.

There's a show going on in Chigaco at one of the science museums. I plan on attending in June.

Do you know dates for that? or the name of the exhibit so I can do a search? Fascinating stuff... I want to donate my husk to that dude. But only if he uses it in a collab with Mark Pauline.
