Corpses having sex go on show at The O2
Dr Gunther Von Hagens' controversial exhibit of a dead couple in a sex pose has ruffled feathers in Europe and today it joins the other Body Worlds corpses at The O2
23 June 2009
THE controversial visionary behind the smash hit Body Worlds exhibition, Dr Gunther Von Hagens, has revealed his latest stunt today: two corpses having sex.
The 'Sex Couple', consenting donors who agreed to pose to "highlight human reproduction" caused a stir when it first went on show in Berlin.
Von Hagens uses a technique called 'plastination' to preserve the body. Water and fat is replaced by plastic resulting in corpses that don't decay or smell.
And his taste for cheeky controversy shows no signs of slowing down. His latest exhibit, 'The Sitting Couple' went on show in Berlin on Saturday, and shows a couple wearing wigs and lacey underwear having sex on a chair.
Body Worlds and the Mirror of Time, The O2, Millennium Way, North Greenwich, SE10 0PH, 0871 220 0260
