My bones as a work of art: the paradox of a 3D print of my skeleton
What is the relationship between an artwork and its viewer? How does it compare to the strength that a worshipper derives from a relic?
For my project Skeleton (2012), I had a CT scan made of my body and became the first living person to have my entire skeleton reproduced using 3D printing techniques. This has enabled me to present a number of relics of myself. In several respects, this is paradoxical. The fact that I am still alive would suggest that they are not actually relics. But can we also conclude this from the perspective of art history? In this Cultcheers, the focus is on capturing and viewing valued relics in various precious metals. We explore the ideas of why we as viewers attribute intrinsic value to an object.
