Dr Schnabel

Janek Simon is known for his unconven­tional jour­neys into the depths of the world and into distant moments of history, trans­lating his experien­ces from these voyages into the lan­guage of con­tem­porary, democratic tech­nologies. This time, in a series of figures realized using his distinc­tive 3D prin­ting tech­nique, the artist evokes the figure of the plague doctor. In early modern times, doctors caring for plague vic­tims wore special protec­tive suits with masks. The beak of the mask was filled with aromatic herbs inten­ded to guard against the plague.
