Mediterranean (Greek) Monastery
Old Mediterranean Amphitheatre
These leftovers of the old amphitheatre seating are now stacked as marked stones for the museum. What used to be a place to sit is now a background of the stage (which remains the same) but the viewing point has changed. I love the haphazard machinery that supplies light and sound for evening performances and ordinary foldable chairs in the site of such a ruin.
Plastinated body slice, Wellcome Collection
Vacuum processes are used to extract air bubbles and replace body parts with various plastics that decay very slowly. Such specimens are donated by individuals and used in medicine for research and teaching purposes.
