Excavations
The anatomy lesson
Excavations: The anatomy lesson was a production by Marijs Boulogne (Belgium) in which a crocheted and embroidered dead baby played a central part.
In the performance Boulogne, through an autopsy, revealed what had happened to the dead baby. Had it been alive? The audience got to witness, among other things, that the video artist Julia Cleve used an endoscopy to get a closer look at the baby's (crocheted, naturalist) innards.

Excavations: The anatomy lesson (original title Excavations: Episcopia) by Marijs Boulogne was the third part of a series of six events, all gathered under the main title Excavations.
The other parts were called, chronologically: Pregnancy, de operatie/de geboorte (the operation/birth), Memories, Versmaarrot, het eindrapport (the end report).
The background story of the dead baby in The anatomy lesson was a story about a man killing his highly pregnant wife. The woman, despite dying of the damages, gave birth to a baby after her death. The baby died too.
The different versions of Boulogne's work Excavations all revolve around the dead body, for the occasion crocheted and embroidered in six different stages. The expressions switched between embroidery, performance, conceptual art, video, music and theatre.
