Abstract
In this video, Kathryn Smith, a forensic artist, presents a philosophical exploration of photography, truth, evidence and indexicality as each one intersects with the corpse. In terms of photographing the dead as a forensic artist, Kathryn describes how she sees capturing the face in death as a way of giving respect and identity to a corpse. This is the third video in Week 6 of the Medicine and the Arts Massive Open Online Course.
