A theoretical linking of my "Raw Women", female figures from the series "Raw Meat" which feature a skinned, cut-up, recomposed body, with the "living dead" figure portrayed in the anatomical charts of the Fifteenth and Sixteenth centuries. I examine how our two images seek the representation of "truths" concerning the human body and its functionning as well as a common truth about the fate of the human flesh, and that of our human condition.
