The Sacred Heart: An Atlas of the Body Seen Through Invasive Surgery by Max Aguilera-Hellweg

challenging dark informative fast-paced

4.75

Intense, raw, and unintentionally poetic. These photographs force its viewers to reckon with the concept of “self” as something that exists both within and apart of the body. This book exists within the intersection of Patrick Bateman and NBC’s Hannibal Lecter, regarding body gore as voyeurism and art.
