For several centuries, students of various specialties have been teaching anatomy on special printed atlases, in which the structure of the human body is shown in great detail. And students from Melbourne brought these colorful illustrations to life by creating a version of this atlas. flesh and blood.
Two years ago, the famous British artist Damien Hirst once again shocked the audience by presenting sculptures Legend and Myth, depicting the legendary artiodactyls, Pegasus and a unicorn, as if descended from the pages of an anatomical atlas. Surprisingly, similar work by students from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology did not receive such scandalous notoriety. And this despite the fact that the guys used a living person as a basis for it.
The emergence of this unusual living installation is due to the fact that the Australian authorities, for some reason, decided to significantly reduce the teaching of anatomy in the country's educational institutions. Professor of the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology Claudia Diaz (Claudia Diaz), outraged by such an initiative, decided to draw public attention to the problem.
The teacher suggested that her students spend the eighteen hours allocated by the Ministry of Education to study human anatomy, to create a living installation, which is a copy of a page of an anatomical atlas.
As a model for their work, the students chose one of themselves, a guy with well-developed muscles. A team of five people applied layer by layer of paint to his bodies during the day, in order to obtain an exact copy of the image of the muscle frame of a person, as it is drawn in anatomy textbooks.
By carefully drawing the muscles and tendons, they achieved stunning authenticity in their work, creating a scientifically verified visual aid of what a person looks like under the skin.
Claudia Diaz will offer this kind of work to her students every semester. After all, there is no better way to study human anatomy in the eighteen hours allotted by the program than to transfer a page of a textbook into the real world with your own hands.
