Technology has made the process of finding information incredibly simple, inhibiting our capacity to become truly knowledgable.

Part of “Dangerous Ideas”, my thesis work exploring controversial concepts proposed by various scientists and intellectuals, using visual metaphors to investigate how these ideas can make us so uncomfortable.

Anatomie du gladiateur combattant, applicable aux beaux arts…

Jean-Galbert Salvage (1770-1813)

[anatomist; artist]

A military doctor of the Napoleonic era, Salvage based his drawings on dissections of soldiers “killed in duels, in their prime.” For this study of the Borghese Gladiator, an ancient Greek statue, he arranged his cadavers in the same pose as the sculpture and meticulously worked out the skeletal and muscular anatomy. Anatomical studies of important classical sculptures constituted a genre within fine art.

Paris, 1812. Two-layer copperplate engraving, color.
