Gallery 1 - Gallery 2 quote [In the early 20th century, Fritz Kahn produced a succession of books on the inner workings of the human body, using visual metaphors drawn from industrial society—assembly lines, internal combustion engines, refineries, dynamos, telephones, etc. The body, in Kahn’s work, was "modern" and productive, a theme visually emphasized through modernist artwork. Though his books sold well, his Jewishness, and public advocacy of progressive reform, made him a target for Nazi attacks. Rescued by American agent Varian Fry, along with other prominent Jewish scientists and intellectuals, he was brought to America in 1940].

"Unscathed Corpse" is a collection of curious, weird, sexiest, funny, crazy and interesting sites.
You can call it "subliminal porn". Sometimes it's fetish, sometimes it's glamour but everything is art. Art and parody. Underground culture with humor...
