Abstract:Exhibited human specimens arouse our curiosity and raise existential issues. Seeing foetuses floating in jars of fluid, a human head with its blood vessels exposed or blood from a biobank are powerful reminders of the basic human condition - that we are bodies of flesh and blood. This catalogue brings together a series of new texts by researchers, medical doctors and museum staff who have contributed to the exhibition. The human specimens are photographed by the Danish artist Nicolai Howalt."--Provded by publisher
