The Retrospective Body builds from a single archival photograph of the Borremose Man, a bog body unearthed in Denmark in 1946. The image, captured with clarity and care, serves as the seed of a new sculptural form.
From this one photograph, a three-dimensional figure emerges — shaped through interpretation, presence, and digital craft. A model was built, then printed in carbon-fibre-reinforced PLA, carrying the trace of the original body into a contemporary material. The result holds a volume drawn from light, surface, and gesture.
The animation flows from this form. It is shown on a TV screen resting on peat blocks, returning the visual memory to the kind of ground that once held it — fibrous, layered, alive with time.
This work speaks of memory, care, and return. The archival image becomes an opening — not toward replication, but toward encounter. Through stillness and motion, the body reappears as presence shaped by gaze, light, and soil.
