I saw a show on the Discovery Channel, I think it was Beyong Bizarre, where some guy displayed preserved, skinned human bodies in his castle. He was a weird guy (duh). He also collected horses’ mouths. Does anyone know what I’m talking about? Can you help me find out more about this dude and his collection?
I also read a newspaper artical a few years back about an art exibition of preserved, disected human bodies, posed in everyday activities. I think it was in Germany, but could be wrong. As I recall, there was a bit of controversy surrounding it, expectedly. I haven’t heard of it since I read it in the paper. Is it still on exhibit? Does the gallery have a web page? My morbid curiosity is killing me!
I know. Penn Gellette has one framed in his house. Along with Liza Minelli’s unwashed panties. Both equally startling.
But That’s not what I’m looking for. This artist aquired bodies, had them skinned, and dipped in some laquer-like solution that sealed them, and gave them a nice semi-gloss sheen. IIRC, one display was of mother and baby, skinned and disected, nursing. I am just wondering if the exhibit was closed, is touring, and if I can find it on the web. I’ve come up with nothing. Any help you veteran Dopers can provide will be much appreciated.
