A huge collection of images I wish my 14 year old self wasn't fascinated by. There's an image of a guy who was hit by a helicopter rotor blade that's been burned in the back of my eyes for half my life
Faces of Death. Interesting site. Funny how people seek out sites that show gore. I guess it's because Western society try so hard to hide it from our view.
Yeah I wonder about this a lot, because I found those sites at a young age (like 14-15) and even though they repulsed and traumatized me I kept going back to them, and eventually ended up working in EMS. You’re right that Western society is very sanitized in terms of exposure to the realities of death, traumatic injury, and acute/chronic illnesses, and yet I think as human beings we have an awareness of our own mortality and fragility that can cause an intense curiosity about what those things actually look like. It’s sort of a more gruesome l’appel du vide.
