Sick

Coming soon
The body is a magnificent system. But its harmony can be interrupted, sometimes by subversive agents within. Sick uses stop motion to bring to life a knitted body in a fanciful journey through the pulsating organs and dark recesses of the human body. Produced as part of the 7th edition of the NFB’s Hothouse apprenticeship.

Education
Ages 13 to 17
Science - Biology
As a class, research instances in which incongruous arts-and-crafts forms and media have been used to portray human and animal anatomy (for example, Lego “frog” dissection, human anatomy sleeping bag, and so on). Screen the film Sick and show the class Rembrandt’s famous painting The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Nicolaes Tulp. Then have the students use unusual materials and media to create anatomical artworks, and display them in a gallery space.
