Atlas of Anatomy is an abstract interpretation of the historical anatomical reference book. The book contains 15 photographs of body parts belonging to people of different ages (5 – 87 years), and 133 footnotes all of which, concretely or metaphorically, describe those body parts. The text fragments are collected from medical, literary, philosophical and pedagogical sources: a line from a children’s song, a description of a burial ritual and the treatment of a burn. The photographs are narrowly cropped, so the body parts appear abstracted. Like maps. Atlas of Anatomy is a journey through a collective body composed of many bodies and voices.
The book is produced alongside the public commission Atlas of Anatomy. It is available at the following locations:
