The “Chapel” series by Belgian artist Wim Delvoye
For this dark series, which was initiated in 1999, Wim Delvoye has created some very unusual stained-glass windows of steel, lead, glass and actual x-rays. Delvoye took x-rays of two friends performing sexual acts, then combined the resultant x-rays with stained glass to fill the windows of a gothic chapel.
Some of the windows simply look like abstract designs, but upon closer inspection, the anatomical features become apparent, including teeth, skulls, and intestines. There are also several more risque pieces available to peruse on the artist's website.
