ANATOMY is a documentary series comprised of three unusual and compelling stories.
The second series of ANATOMY explores the ways artists/performers deal with the subject of sex and the human body to give us an insight into how sexuality and the body work as driving forces in the creative process. However, there is a stronger thematic integrity as each episode deals (quite differently) with the central theme of identity. The series looks at how artists tackle questions about gender identity (MIND), sexual identity (FACE) and racial identity (EYE) within their divergent artistic practice.
