Gunther Von Hagens' crucifix!

Post Reply New Topic

Anyone watching this tomorrow night? I am and I can't wait!
For anyone who doesn't know what it is, it's basically a documentary about the image of the crucifix and how different artists interpreted it in history. Featuring a depiction of the crucifixion made out of plastinated blood vessels made by Gunther Von Hagens. He also wanted to make the programme because he was diagnosed with Parkinson's last year so he wanted to make something big. I am sad about this because soon he won't be steady enough to do his autopsies and make his plastinates.

I looooove Gunther so can't wait to watch this. I have a dvd box set of his autopsies that I had for Christmas and I'm still in the process of watching all of it. I went to his body worlds exhibition in Manchester 4 years ago and that's where I discovered his awesomeness.

It's on right now! Turn over to channel 4 nowwwww!

I watched it and it was awesome, I love what he does and I didn't know he was the inventor of plastination.
