A “Coup d’Oeil” Behind the Scenes
Discover some of the secrets of Yann Marussich’s extreme performance.
The skin is our largest and most visible organ, but do we ever really look at it? The skin is a barrier between our internal vital organs and the external world. But it does more than protect us—it is also a sensitive organ through which we sweat and experience touch, pain, cold, and heat. Artists, historians, dermatologists, plastic surgeons, biologists, and engineers take part in this thematic series about the skin and bring their own interpretations of this fantastic living envelope.
