Mark the Evangelist also known as John Mark or Saint Mark, is the person who is traditionally ascribed to be the author of the Gospel of Mark. According to Church tradition, Mark founded the episcopal see of Alexandria, which was one of the five most important sees of early Christianity. His feast day is celebrated on April 25, and his symbol is the winged lion. #saintmarc #stommel #rennes #arts (à Musée des Beaux-Arts de Rennes) https://www.instagram.com/p/CoZlMllLfqi/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

We are in a state of constant reanimation, reinventing ourselves intellectually, emotionally, and culturally, but also repairing physical damage, replacing dead cells with live ones, and collecting more and more layers of flesh all the while. We grow old, wrinkle, rot, reek, and break little by little; our organs fail, our skin cultures fungi, and our guts host hundreds of bacteria species. Our body contains more dead cells than live ones. And 90% of the living cells in our body are critters like this one, the follicle mite, which lives in the eyebrows and eyelashes of 50% of adults.
Jesse Stommel, "The Decay of the Digital Human"

And yet, bodies are sexy, not in spite of the fact that we are decaying but exactly, I think, because we are.
- from "The Loveliness of Decay: Rotting Flesh, Literary Matter, an Dead Media," Jesse Stommel (x)
