Looking at Death #
April 1st, 2008 | In Worth Seeing
I’ll leave the explanation to Boing Boing:
German photographers Walter Schels and Beate Lakotta have a show of their extraordinary before-and-after-death photos opening on April 9 at the Wellcome Trust in London. The photos are marvellous and wrenching, the difference between flesh animated and the empty vessel gigantic and unmistakable, even when the before-death shot is of someone terribly ill. Life’s marvellous and inexplicable.
