Body Worlds by Dr. von Hagen
The figure skating pair
Body Worlds, the museum exhibit where they take actual plasticized bodies, strip them of their skin, and display the wonders of the human body in all its icky glory.
plastination is a groundbreaking process in which real human specimens are preserved through the science of plastination. The specimens resulting from the revolutionary process are called plastinates. Plastinates show the inner workings of the body and the striking whole-body specimens show the human body in real-life poses, like never seen before.
The juxtaposed couple
This technique requires 1000 to 1500 man-hours
