there was a scandal almost 20 years ago now when a copycat exhibition opened in Paris and strangely all bodies had east-asian traits. There was a petition against it later on as the bodies were found out to be coming from Chinese prisons.
ECPM et Solidarité Chine ont mis en avant les origines troubles des corps présentés, qu’ils soupçonnent d’appartenir à des condamnés à mort et à des prisonniers. « Il s’agit exclusivement de
corps de ressortissants chinois, masculins, jeunes, et ne présentant aucune pathologie
particulière, de sorte que l’hypothèse de la mort naturelle de ces hommes paraît improbable »
You read it right, look up “Body Worlds” by artist Gunther von Hagens.
it wasn’t always “body worlds”!
