Historically, stereoscopic photography was widely used in medicine
as a teaching aid, so it seems fitting that Jim Naughten's
stereoscopic pictures of human specimens on display at the Vrolik
Museum in Amsterdam transform science into art. With over 5,000
immaculately preserved objects, the Vrolik has one of the largest
collections of anatomical specimens in the world. Naughten has
selected 50 of the most striking examples for this book, including
pathological specimens such as skeletons afflicted by rickets and
other diseases of the bone; congenital malformations; and dissected
heads. Many are photographed in their original wood and glass
specimen cases, which lends them a haunting tone. Reproduced with
stunning clarity, these transfixing images take the reader on a
fascinating journey through the history of the study of anatomy,
with the stereoscopic viewer permitting an immersive experience
that is not possible with conventional photography.
Created by a professional effects animator. A collection of
original illustrated nude female forms with long and stylized hair.
Inspired by Art Nouveau style and aesthetics of women and nature.
