Cutting, cutting open, cutting out, assembling pieces; designing, building, and constructing bodies. These processes are the working steps of both the artist as well as the plastic surgeon and prosthodontist. Starting from the assumption that a body-forming aspect is inherent to both the artistic and the medical disciplines, this dissertation explores how, why, and to what avail the practices of plastic surgery and prosthetics are adapted by artists.
