Secrets inside—the artwork of Michael Tummings discloses the wonderland of anatomy and brings secrets in sight. The visualisation of the body’s mysterium and its exploration in the framework of surgical procedures provides new perspectives onto our physical existence and modern medicine. The beauty of art photography opens our mind for an intimate contact with our organs “under repair” and allows a glimpse into the beauty of our physical nature beyond any analytical, rationale and dissecting approach. Medicus curat—natura sanat: the physician cures but the nature heals. These views over the surgeon’s shoulder may not only display the spectrum of surgical skill and technological progress but also remind us that being connected to our physis is an important element for fighting and even prevent- ing diseases. In an era of increasing availability of artificial joints, body implants and even partial artificial organs we have to cherish the wonder of our biology and nature. – Jörg Christian Tonn
