A photographer named Wayne Martin Belger made some cameras, that are made out of human remains. He believes that art can help us cope with death, and that when we die our body can be turned into art which can connect us to the dead. Because he thinks this he made cameras made of human remains.
"Third eye camera" is a camera made from a 150 year old skull that Belger got from a doctor. He made this because "[he] wanted to take this beautiful object of decay and photograph the beauty of decay."
"The heart" is another camera made by Belger. This camera is made from a fetus's heart. It allows Belger to connect himself with the dead. When he was 20 he found out he had a twin brother who died at birth. With this camera he photographs woman before they have a baby. "I've yet to have a negative response," he says.
It's really amazing how a camera made with human remains can do this.
