The figure sits gazing contemplatively at a chessboard seemingly focused on its next move. Unclothed, the figure is “created” in such a way that we can see the sinew of each muscle and the skeleton of each finger. The surprise, however, is that this “figure” is neither formed from clay nor marble. It is a preserved human body that has been plastinated and posed to create a work of art that is part of the traveling exhibition BODY WORLDS. German anatomist Dr. Gunther von Hagens, who is the creator and promoter of BODY WORLDS, developed the plastination process that preserves bodies in such a way that they can be touched, do not smell or decay, and can even be posed.
