Re: ~Amazing Set Of Morgue Photos~
I checked and couldn't find anything about this artist's photos here so I thought some would enjoy. "The reason lying behing the art of embalming have changed in modern times. The memory of Marlon Brando as the Godfather going to see a man that had profited from his generosity is not yet vanished, and he was precisely, an embalmer. Corleone asks him to do everything in his power to make the body of his first born, Santino, visible to the eyes of his mother. In ancient Egypt the body was not exhibited to a congregation of grievers, it was put in a sarcophagus that strongly symbolized the constitution of a temporary body, which would enable the waiting by the one taking the long journey, of which he would someday return. In this picture we observe the elegance of a body that fell victim to an unfortunate accident, fulfilling the family wish of one last appearance." link to website with many more photos. http://www.zonezero.com/exposiciones...niz/index.html I'm sure I screwed this up somehow, hence why I don't do posts. |
