With Petey gone to Cali for 2 weeks, I had jack shit to do on Saturday. So I went and checked out this exhibition called BODIES. I’ve got to say, it was one of the sickest, most morbid, yet entirely fascinating things I have seen in a while. They basically take these real life plasticized human bodies and explode them like anatomy diagrams. But while anatomy textbooks work only in 2 dimensions, these scultptures can be viewed in the round, in unlimited angles. Brains, hearts, lungs, the nervous system; each piece has it’s own focus. I spent the better part of two hours squinting into body cavities that had been sliced and diced in the most creative of ways. You reverse engineer each statue, telling yourself; this pulls on that, which sends a signal to this other place, which connects to this organ..and so on. If anyone wants to learn about anatomy and the human body forget about taking physiology in high school, or going to look at the cadevers in 10th grade. I learned more in 2 hours at this exhibit that in all of my academic past. You walk away with a profound respect for the body and the miracle it really is. Definitely check it out if this display comes to a city near you…
