Body Image, when arts met sciences

This exhibition takes place in the UNSW Gallery, on Oxford Street and is all about how medical imaging and the inside of human body can become parts of art.

Forget the austere Black and White radiographies we use to see, your body is there shown with a lot of different colors and in a lot of different ways. For example, you can see some real preserved humans organs, or navigate into your blood system thanks to some 3D glasses, which is a very weird experience you should make at least once in your life! Some videos explain also how a pancreatic cancer could appears and developped or how your DNA can be affected by your environment. We are here at the frontier between arts and documentary : art is always present in the ways the different artists choose to show your body, with which kind of image, of colour… and this helps also the spectator to understand how his body works, and to become more familiar with it.

If you go upstairs you can see other exhibitions, about the memory for example.

It’s a very great idea to mix sciences and arts at the same place, a way to discover that art as sciences can be playful and not austere at all!

The exhibition is until 8th November, so don’t miss the opportunity to travel into the human body!
