Bodies.
the value of certain bodies over others
cutting up / butchering to put on display makes it more animal / more object
than human
American-centric (poses, activities)
baseball, football, basketball, darts, conductor, frisbee
private parts - demeaning
pieces of faces
keeping bodies intact
death rituals / thinking about the souls of deceased
donated, unclaimed bodies -- outside of Beijing
argue: doctors use bodies for medical training all the time
different intent: donated bodies, medical benefit, education
while these are educational exhibits, there's also some element of freak show shock and awe in the experience/display -- gore element that seemed disrespectful
Bodies purpose -- "become an informed participant in your own healthcare"
"the specimens in this exhibit have been treated with the dignity and respect they deserve" -- afterthought on last wall of exhibit
