Plastination, plastination, everywhere
Bodies … The Exhibition is coming to Las Vegas, yet another exhibit of human corpses preserved – in, shall we say, creative ways – using the extraordinary plastination technique. I saw Body Worlds , the original plastination exhibit designed by technique founder Gunther von Hagens, in Los Angeles two years ago. (And there’s plenty of controversy surrounding that one, which continues to tour the country.) I doubt I’ll check out Bodies … due to the cost, but I highly recommend you catch one of these if you can – it will blow your unplastinated mind. (via mb)
