In 1993, a convicted murderer was executed. His body was given to science, segmented, and photographed for medical research. In 2011, we used photographer to put it back together.
12:31 is a series of photographs concepted by Croix Gagnon and photographed by Frank Schott. The process of making these haunting images is similar to creating the long-exposure light paintings we’ve all seen become popular over the past few years. The images Croix and Frank managed to capture through this process are other worldly!
The Process:
An animation of the sequence of 1,871 male cadaver slices from the Visible Human Project was created. This animation was then played full screen on a laptop and moved through a dark environment while being photographed. The result is a series of ghostly misshapen images of the Visible Human cadaver in space.

London-based photographer, Cristiana Montis created this series of photographs based off of the manikins used in the Canterbury Christ Church University skills labs. Cristiana’s compositions create a sense of sadness and isolation around the manikins in each photograph.
She says of her experience,
The adult and young person manikins are life-size and are unsettlingly similar to the real thing in both appearance and touch.
All in all the skills labs provide an insightful and odd environment where real and pretend merge into a life-size ‘doll-house’ where the cycle of life and death is played out day after day by life-less objects.

This piece, titled Valentine, was created by visual artist Evi Numen who “draws inspiration from medicine and psychiatry as well as painting and film.” Evi also happens to work full time at one of my favorite museums in the world, The Mütter Museum. How cool is that!
