Man has always placed man himself at the center of his artistic research to analyze his relationship with other men, with God, with nature, with the whole universe, with progress. Human After All, the latest project signed by photographer Jan Kriwol and digital artist Markos Kay, continues this vein but in a totally new and unprecedented way. 

It is a series of images that show a person in completely everyday contexts, from the supermarket to the bus stop, but instead of being a real person we only see his circulatory system. An intricate mass of arteries, veins, capillaries, walking carefree in the street, smoking a cigarette and enjoying lunch in a fast-food restaurant. 

From a practical point of view, the images of Human After All digitally merge Jan Kriwol’s photographs, taken in different places of the world, from Warsaw to Grenoble via Tel Aviv, Masada, Berlin, Brussels, and Cape Town, and the reproductions of the circulatory system that Markos Kay has created inspired by various anatomy studies and works by other artists, such as Antony Gormley. 

The project wants to underline both the fragility of the intricate and delicate system that the human body hides inside it, and the fragility of the entire human body compared to the environment in which it has decided to live. 

Last but not least, the protagonist of Human After All‘s images could be anyone because, although many people still support the idea that there are differences between humans, we are all the same, not only from a cultural point of view but also from a physical and scientific one.
