Canadian photographer Jack Burman has created a hypnotic collection
of still-lifes of long-departed but painstakingly preserved people,
specimens and skeletons — dehumanized but very human; flawed but very
beautiful. Exquisitely captured, Burman’s post-mortem documentation
addresses not only death, but the lives that came before.
“The photographs are shocking in their intimacy. With clear respect
in their representation, Jack Burman works excruciatingly close to their
humanity, and to their death.” Taken from the foreword by Martha Hanna,
Director of the Canadian Museum of Contemporary Photography.
