Human body as structure
Sometimes the human body can feel like a structure, architecture you can walk around in. Your own body as a city where the inhabitants live together. This is my own city, bringing together my main information carriers for my identity: my skeleton together with my skin.
The skeleton as separate entities
All 172 bones, obtained from a CT scan of my own skeleton, are encased by a tightly sewn cover, made from a silicone cast of my own skin. Thus, the cover forms a closed skin and each part of “my” skeleton forms an independent, separate entity.
