Crucifixion

[Flat6er]

I saw the live autopsies with Gunther von Hagen a few years ago, and saw him as an academic.

This program has been more about his struggle as an artist aflicted with a horrible disease.

Was disturbed he didn't feature in the last ten minutes.

I found it quite a sad program to watch. You could see his detereoation from the Parkinson's getting steadily worse and him not being able to attend the reveal of the piece he had been working on was really telling.

Watching it now. Very interesting program!

Very sad to see such a brilliant man (yet so controversial) losing the ability to do what he has pioneered and loves to do.

I am not remotely religious so i wasnt that interested in the "jesus" side of it, just fascinated by the way in which the human body can be displayed in such a way as to bring physiology to the masses.

I have already got tickets for his new "inside animals" exibition at the NHM.
