Body Worlds seriously pushes envelope, plans show of ‘copulating cadavers’

Have you seen this traveling exhibition? Body Worlds, where they take corpses preserved with a process called “plastination”, dice them up, and put them on display in “lifelike and often theatrical positions.” It’s a trip. Ghastly at first. Eventually beautiful.

In the latest show, “Cycle of Life,” which Pound360 has not seen, there are two copulating corpses. “Revolting” and “unacceptable,” said German politicians when the show was set up in Berlin.

Now, Body Worlds is “planning a new show dedicated solely to dead bodies having sex.” (Reuters)

Wow. Here at Pound360 we like to think of ourselves as more curious than your average person. We were anxious to see the fist Body Worlds exhibit in LA. But a show filled with “copulating cadavers”? We’d rather stay home and watch Star Trek.
