Summary:

"Organised by themes in turn figurative and abstract, vital and mechanical, immaterial and ultra-material, this visual essay on the human body does not feature any predictable images of the body. Instead it uses diffracted views to conjure seven alternative visions of the flesh in the age of meta-mechanical reproduction."--Page 3.
