Japanese scientist/fisherman/artist Iori Tomita is the man behind this curious collection of see-through animals, which form part of his project called ‘New World Transparent Specimens’. The specimens are created using a preservation and dyeing technique usually only used for scientific purposes, such as examining the skeletal system and the underlying biological makeup. Tomita uses an enzyme to dissolve the natural proteins in the flesh. He then injects red dyes into the harder bones and blue dyes into the softer cartilage, thus highlighting usually unseen internal structures. The dead creature is then preserved in a jar of glycerin. Tomita started to create these transparent specimens as pieces of work to help people feel closer to the wonders of life and say that there are no limits to how people may interpret his work – as academic material, a piece of art, or even an entrance to philosophy. Magic!

Artist James Marshall – commonly know as Dalek – made his mark in the art world with his iconic Space Monkey character, which looks like a catatonic twisted mouse. Rendered in a minimalistic, flat style, Dalek used the Space Monkey as an alter ego, a visual manifestation of his feelings, as well as his love for the absurdity of human interactions. But in 2007 he decided to leave his beloved monkey behind and ever since his style has developed into profusion and hyper-abundance of colours and planes of space. His work has been featured in various books as well as on skateboard decks, sneakers, magazines and sculptures. Enjoy!
