À propos du livre
Located in Guben, Germany, this facility reveals the controversial process of plastination pioneered by Dr. Gunther von Hagens – a technique that replaces water in human tissue with polymers, preserving bodies in an astonishing state of eternal stillness.
To step through these images is to stand face-to-face with the boundary between science and art, anatomy and mortality. Gruesome, fascinating, unforgettable – “Plastinarium” is a journey into the very anatomy of death and preservation.

À propos du créateur
Professional photographer working on fashion and social projects across Asia, Africa, and South America. Author of powerful and controversial series such as “Plastinarium” and “Death Camps” – the latter refused publication in Poland due to its uncompromising view of history, and released independently in the United States. I work exclusively with Leica M cameras – guided by the principle “simple, lightweight, reliable”. My toolkit includes the Leica M9, and MP film body, paired with two essential lenses: the Noctilux 50/0.95 and Summilux 35/1.4. Film remains central to my practice: Kodachrome 64, Fujichrome Provia 100F/400F, and Kodak Tri-X. All negatives are scanned with the Hasselblad Flextight X5 at 8000 dpi, preserving the full depth and texture of the original image.
