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.
