I'm looking for the name of the artist that made art from turning people inside-out and embalming!?

Question

Weeell, I saw a documentary on him and I thought some of it was very beautiful! However, I forgot his name and I cannot seem to find it on google... Any help? Would be greatly appreciated!

Answer 1

Thomas Dent Mutter.

He didn't turn them inside out. He stripped the skin from them and preserved them with a kind of preservative that keeps them rigid.

Answer 2

Gunther von Hagens

He had a touring exhibition relatively recently called "Body Worlds"
