'Body' is a fascinating art installation by British designer Karen Ryan. Like most of Ryan's other art pieces, Body is made out of recycled objects; in this case, she used discarded chair frames to create sculptures that resemble the skeletal remains of a dead body.
The different skeletons were set up in alleyways and abandoned fields to make them look like they're all that's left of murdered people. Check out Body by Karen Ryan in the gallery above; it's freaky furniture art at its best.
