Crossing the Fine Line

I feel, there exists a fine line between what can be called art and what not. To me, anything that makes you want to throw up, cannot be art.

Although I can understand that to a scientist or a biologist or a medical student, an opened up real human body might be beautiful. However, I feel that kind of appreciation of beauty by a scientist must be accompanied by respect and reverence towards the creator etc... Otherwise it borders on perversion.

It seems as though something in these brains that create such “art” must be a tad askew!

I have always heard about Body Works – the exhibition by Gunther von Hagens – and every time I tried to make up my mind to go see it, simply out of curiosity, my mind has discouraged me to do so.

I am simply not into dead bodies, I guess.
