Gentle Violence: A Visual Exploration Of The Body During Open Heart Surgeries
Gentle Violence includes a series of exhibitions through which the human body is being presented in an educational and artistic manner, while the surgical treatment is being aesthetically reinterpreted. The exhibition aims at broadening the patient’s knowledge in what concerns the surgical treatment and at offering a visual explanation for what surgeons call a “beautiful surgery”, while the photographs render the poetic speech of the body.
The exhibition had its first display at Brukenthal National Museum (Sibiu, Romania) in September 2014. Visitors could see a series of spectacular photographs taken by Cristina Bobe during open heart surgeries, medical photographs of the heart and its inner structures captured by Dr. Horia Muresian, heart surgeon, and a creative soundscape designed by Sebastian Florea and inspired by the open heart surgeries he attended during the project.

These are amazing photographs, of something so complex like repairing such sensitive organ like human heart. Well done to the photographer and the whole medical team.

Having had open heart surgery 5 months ago I find these photos very interesting. What is being done by doctors in surgery these days is most remarkable. It probably gave me as much as 10-15 years of a better life. I've been given a wonderful gift of life by very caring people. I am humbled and very thankful. Great Photography
