Untitled 1 by Sally Mann.
Mann’s images from the What Remains series were used to illustrate the New York Times article Dead Men Talking by Lawrence Osborne which tells the story of a research facility in Knoxville, Tennessee that studies forensic decomposition of bodies by studying corpses as they decompose in a two acre field. Mann’s photos were shot at the facility.
We stop by a bloated woman, her body turned a scabrous orange and cranberry red, her ankles thinned almost to the bone. ”Eventually, we want to make a complete atlas of decomposition,” Marks says. ”We take digital photographs of the process every three hours. We want to know exactly what happens when your body rots.” We pause to stare at the woman’s perfectly preserved hand clenched into an eternal fist. ”Death is a process, not an event,” he adds softly. ”It’s beautiful if you consider it calmly. It’s Nature at work. I mean, I love that woman’s hand. I often stop and admire it.” He reaches down with his own hand sheathed in a surgical glove and strokes the mortified knuckles. ”To me, there’s nothing horrific in all this. Nothing whatsoever.”
