China. The 'Plastinator' denies this.
The Plastinator of dead bodies, originally from Tueringen, continues to hit the headlines. And not just because he manipulates his corpses into posing for aesthetic scenes, making them look like poker players or sports stars. Witches too fly over vertebral columns, and characters from the sunken Titanic float around them with their arms flaying.
Kliche.
The fascination in seeing the final product fades after having seen how many apprentices are devoted to putting the slippery muscles into the correct position and in seeing them breathing in the dust wafting from the cut bones. More than anything, it looks as if someone wants to make transparent all those things which are being produced in that 2500m2 space within the red brick walls of this former clothes factory. Because above all, Guben is a factory, a business, an
To what extent to do you alienate your figures?
They become alienated during the preparation process. We take off the skin, we take off the fat and the connecting tissue. The face acquires a new aspect, on some occasions even a charisma.
Your sculptures look like chess players or sportsmen. You are often accused of presenting them as artistic objects.
I am an inventor and a scientist interested in art, I am not an artist with scientific ambitions. In fact, there are some characteristics in common; art pieces like these plastinates can be interpreted how and as is wanted; it
If you are so devoted to science, how come your pieces appeared in the last James Bond movie?
A good anatomy professor is always a good actor, a showman. Anatomy directed at a layman audience should always be entertaining. In the last James Bond, the poker player sculptures highlighted the possibilities of the anatomy exhibition and raised interest in the exposition. An anatomical exposition without publicity is like a theatre without a programme.
Why should we describe you as an artist who transcends borders?
My life has always been imprinted with finding myself between extremes. I am the middle child of five siblings. I grew up in an equilibrium of efforts between capitalism and communism. Professionally, I find myself between chemistry and medicine. Anatomically, I am suspended between anatomy and medicine.
Your
What limits do you believe you have crossed?
None. I have never dehumanised a single one of the figures, for example in using a bladder as a vase. I am a didactic anatomist and I present anatomical preparations as they are.
Would you allow your own body to be plasticised?
Of course! What could be better than allowing my body to continue doing what I have been doing all my life after my death
Happy Valentine s Day
If a drop of water on behalf of a blessing,
I sent you a South China Sea;
If a representative of a Star happiness, I will give you a Galaxy.
I had no Valentine s Day love,
Only her, she is my favorite,
Today, tomorrow, until I die I am only in the hearts of her! Really love you!
The inevitable ageing of life,
But I will always remember the wonderful time with you and the warmth years.
Life on the wish you have a brilliant mind and a long future.
Love people, every day is the Festival. A warm winter,
First phase noise; a Chen, a memo Legend has it;
A love, as one of hope, one love, and his love.
Feeling the yearning hearts is the feeling of sympathy,
Is inspired by the collision, is the flashing electro-optic, sweet Qiongjiang,
Is pure intoxicating liquor. I wish you Qingrenjiekuaile!
Among the crowd looking for you,
Seem Juqi all at the seaside sand,
Eager to find traces of you, if not from the wish, I hope there next life.
In this season of deep,
I
Hopefully, this rose fragrance can faintly dissemination of the white out of your care and miss the atmosphere,
Qingrenjiekuaile!
Ireland has a legend: If one pair of lovers each other from the other side,
There are stars on the sky will be extinguished. I hope that happened, we are the everlasting stars, always shining.
