One thing we can say about Australian artist/architect
Horst Kiechle’s latest design…it’s an impressive body of work.

Kiechle has crafted an anatomically correct human torso, with removable
internal organs, completely out of white cardstock and glue.

He created the project for the Science Lab of the International School Nadi in Fiji.

The geometric sculpture features removable heart, lungs and intestines.

In an interview with My Modern Met, Kiechle stated that the most difficult part of the design
was making sure the gap between the organs was large enough to slide them in and out.

He said it was challenging to create ledges the organs
could rest on when the torso is in a standing position.
The heart has a tendency to fall out if the torso is bumped.

The most surprising fact is that he didn’t have an anatomical model to reference while
creating his paper torso. He did everything from scratch, using internet searches to
find images of each internal organ. But once he found Google’s Zygote Body website
he was able to see the transparency levels and dive deep into the heart of the project.
