In order to get to know each individual structure and to link the functions and complicated positional relationships with each other, the close examination of the human cadaver as a teaching object is a basic building block at many medical universities in Germany and worldwide.  <br\/><br\/>In the dissection course, the future doctors dissect preserved bodies right at the beginning of their studies in order to understand anatomy and thus lay the foundation for their professional future on real people. The cadavers come from body donors &#8211; people who agreed during their lifetime to donate their bodies to an anatomical institute for teaching and research after their passing. I approached the topic of body donation through documentary photography and explored it at the Hannover Medical School.  <br\/><br\/>In my work I bring together the levels of everyday scientific work on and with the<br\/>corpse, the deceased as a teaching object and the students with their thoughts and feelings together. With death as a taboo subject in today&#8217;s society, the project not only takes a look at the emotional side of body donation and the dissection course, but also encourages people to examine their own view of human transience.<\/p>\n    <figure class=\"block-photo post__image--half-center has-spacing--m no-title\">\n\n        <div class=\"post__image__container\">\n            <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" \n                src=\"https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-768x994.jpg\"\n                srcset=\"https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-768x994.jpg 768w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-232x300.jpg 232w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-791x1024.jpg 791w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-1187x1536.jpg 1187w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-1050x1359.jpg 1050w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-670x867.jpg 670w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-420x544.jpg 420w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-350x453.jpg 350w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2-300x388.jpg 300w, https:\/\/visualjournalism.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/1-Julia-Bellack-Am-Anfang-steht-der-Tod-01-cbc1b0c5-1c73-4305-a63b-95f4ca9d4ea2.jpg 1236w\"\n                width=\"768\" \n                height=\"994\"\n                alt=\"\" \n            \/>\n            \n                    <\/div><!-- post__image__container -->\n\n                    <figcaption class=\"post__image__caption--soehne\"><p><strong>Body donor preparation<\/strong> under moist cotton cloth before the start of the first dissection course of the new 2021\/22 cohort at Hannover Medical School (MHH).
