Metamorphoses of the Body Video (DVD)

The transformation or metamorphosis of the human body has long been a theme in sculptures, paintings, cinema and photography. This DVD, Metamorphoses of the Body, explores the transformation and distortion theme with a journey that starts in classical times and travels all the way to modern day, where the theme has evolved much like the subjects of the art in question. Zoomorphism (people as animals), botanomorphism (people as plants), the personification of human genitalia, engineered creatures, cyborgs, the hybrids of mythology and the caricatures of Granville are just a handful of the metamorphosis are that you will learn about in this astonishing program. Who knows, you might even be inspired to create some not-so-human artwork yourself.
