Although it seems to me there has to be a better way to educate teens about drunk driving, a new display at a Brooklyn art gallery hopes to prevent teens from driving drunk by featuring a sculpture of Paris Hilton undergoing an autopsy.
Artist Daniel Edwards created the work showing Hilton, presumably after a car crash, undergoing an autopsy with her insides on full display.
“Campaign to Rescue Women of Youth” featuring “The Paris Hilton Autopsy” offers a cadaveric nude Paris Hilton, laid out with twisted body and opened abdominal cavity on a coroner’s table, while her cell phone remains in her grip. The ‘unglamorous’ display which includes support material from anti-drunk driving organizations counters “the disturbingly glamorized trend of Hollywood’s ‘girls gone wild’,” according to gallery director, David Kesting.
The tableau, created by Daniel Edwards, reminds potential prom queens no one is impervious to the pitfalls of drinking. Recalling Miss USA’s recent battle to keep her crown through alcohol rehab and Princess Diana’s untimely death due to drunk driving, a skewed hotel heiress’s tiara adorns the lifeless Paris Hilton head.
The PSA also observes the teen pregnancy crisis associated with alcohol impaired judgment. The “Hilton Autopsy” tragically reveals drunk driving’s heartbreaking collateral damage.
Kesting, advocating teenagers to experience the Hilton display “hands-on,” said, “Paris’ internals, which include her small intestines, and other elements, are removable to assist teens with an empathetic view of drunk driving tragedy from the coroner’s perspective.”
Hilton, who was arrested last year for driving while under the influence of alcohol, has yet to comment on her fake autopsy.
The sculpture will be on display at the Capla Kesting Fine Art Gallery in Williamsburg, Brooklyn starting next month.

This is utterly sickening. It looks nothing like an autopsy either! W. T. F.

I think the sculptor needs to check out an episode of CSI because Doc Robbins doesn’t do autopsies like that!
Either way thoughts of a dead Paris Hilton don’t really disturb me that much. Maybe it’s just me though.

Not very forensic.
How come we can’t see her innards?
Where are the GOOD pics?
