i’m not debating the freshness or the implications of foul-play–i’m just asking–can anyone under any circumstances legally access a full-scale biohazard foot, along with skinned, cut-off arms with all the sinews and tendons intentionally splay to artistic affect, heap them in the worst pile ever, LEGALLY? That foot in the foreground has meat and blood coming from it–which wouldn’t indicate a medically-released biohazard but a recently found straight up cut off foot. In this offputtingly beautiful-yet-the-worst-thing-i’ve-ever-seen piece, we have a heap of limbs and dead babies and i dont know what all. so needless to speculate, this person was cut in half after they were dead, after the morgue did their thing.Įven if someone wills their body for donation, can you legally mutilate a body for art…? Then you can see he’s cut the crap right in half across that. you can clearly see the autopsy/morgue sewing from whatever medical inspection. In this image, we see a bifurcated corpse’s lower half. Let me give you a few perplexing (graphic) examples so i can see how one might–MIIIIGHT be able to access something along those avenues on “the up and up,” but for the most part, i can’t see how this guy’s art is legally created. The friend debates that people often donate their body to science or art–but even if you do that, can one just take your un-embalmed raw biohazard corpse back to his studio, headless and all, and mess around with it? LEGALLY?Īccessing trauma limbs might be easier–i know i had a lot of questions about limb-loss on accident sites with my brother (who was a CSI) and if i remember correctly, they scoop it up, put it in biohazard bags, and pretty much trash it straight away. There’s photos of a guy with his head cut off–and it’s not a medically prepared cadaver. I can’t, for the life of me, figure out a way someone could legally obtain traumatic limb-loss victim’s limbs, unprepared (meaning they are raw biohazard), to take back to a studio to fiddle with endlessly in a still life for hours on end, to photograph until you’re happy.
My friend, who is a major fan of his (and is also inexplicably demonly-rabid about being a vegan) claims that’s just a rumor. The implication was this maybe was done in less-regulated nations. This is indeed a GQ topic, tho–because i am curious if anyone knows how one might be able to make such art in a legal manner.Īccording to one blog’s biography, they claim Witkin collects John and Jan Doe corpses from morgues and mutilates them to meet whatever concept he has in mind. Now, i’m a freelance working artist, so i understand the artistic vision and beauty of a lot of weird stuff–and i get this guy’s work at times (altho i must say i have a STRONG aversion to gore and his concepts and tableaux really bother me, even if i really love a few pieces). Here’s a google image link but be warned: there’s also hermaphroditic nudity and other draconian nightmare-fodder. he will make still lifes out of severed limbs, dead baby heads, faces cut from skulls, and what all us non-sadistic types consider pretty must straight up gore. So, this photographer Joel Peter Witkin shoots a lot of polarizing, disturbing stuff in gorgeous ways. This thread is graphic and even i find the content disturbing–so be warned.
