Lennart Nilsson (1922- ) [1] Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) Lennart Nilsson (1922- ) [1] By: Conley, Olivia Keywords: Biography [2] Human development [3] Morphology [4] Lennart Nilsson [5] is a world-renowned photojournalist recognized for his exploratory images of the inside of the human body. Throughout his career, Nilsson has received a great deal of publicity for his images documenting the human reproductive system and the morphology [6] of viruses. His photography was the first to capture early human development and thed evelopmental stages [7] of embryos and fetuses. These images have helped shape the way the public visualizes development. Nilsson was born in Strängnäs, Sweden, on 24 August 1922. He began his professional career before age twenty, working as a celebrity photographer for Vecko-Revyn magazine. In 1945 Nilsson traveled with midwife Siri Sundström in northern Sweden. He documented his time with Sundström, taking photographs while she worked and ultimately producing the photo-story “A Midwife in Lapland,” the first of his articles to sell abroad. During the 1940s and 1950s Nilsson published photo-essays in Sweden on topics,such as polar-bear hunting, the life of ants, and Swedish cultural celebrities. In 1953 Nilsson had his first assignment from Life magazine. He traveled to New York to photograph Dag Hammarskjöld, who had been elected United Nations Secretary General. While working on this assignment, Nilsson showed his first human fetus [8] images to the editors at Life. Twelve years later, in 1965, Life published the cover story “The Drama of Life” using Nilsson’s vastly more sophisticated images of the human fetus [8]. The article portrayed and described the developmental stages [7] of the human embryo and fetus [8] from conception [9] to birth. Nilsson’s photographs serve as representations of the technological advances in photomicroscopy during his career. Much of his work has used macro lenses and wide-angled special optics with an electric flash in order to capture images of aborted fetuses obtained from ectopic pregnancies. In addition, his access to specially designed endoscopes and to ultrasound [10] machinery enabled him to photograph living fetuses from both within and outside of a woman’s body. Due to the narrow, flexible structure of an endoscope, Nilsson was able to see far into the body and take photographs, while a wide-angle lens and small fiber optics enabled him to capture high-resolution images. In the 1970s Nilsson incorporated the scanning electron microscope [11] into his photographic tool set. This advanced method of ultrastructural photography [12] allowed him to photograph the AIDS virus in 1985. He photographed the virus in Paris with HIV researcher Luc Montagnier [13]. Nilsson published a number of widely circulated books, including A Child is Born [14] (1965), Man Behold [15] (1973), Behold Man (1974), and The Body Victorious [16] (1985). All these use his photographs as guides to the exploration of the human body’s internal anatomy. Nilsson’s photographs have also been included in documentaries and films. In 1985 Swedish television produced “The Miracle of Life,” which received an international Emmy award and was the first filmed record of human conception [9]. Nilsson has received many awards and acknowledgements during the course of his career. He was recognized as a member of the Swedish Society of Medicine [17] in 1969 and was the first photographer to receive the Hasselblad Award [18] in 1980. In 1998 the Lennart Nilsson Award Foundation [19] was established in honor of his photographic achievements. Each year, the foundation recognizes exceptional scientific photographers. Nilsson has received honorary doctorates from many institutions: the Karolinska Institute [20] in 1976, Technische Universität Braunschweig in 2002, and Linköping University in 2003. Today Nilsson’s work can be viewed at several museums including the Ontario Science Centre in Canada, Hasselblad Center in Göteborg in Sweden, Tokyo Fuji Art Museum, British Museum in London, and the Modern Museum in Stockholm.

  • By Lennart Nilsson [1]
    Published on The Embryo Project Encyclopedia (https://embryo.asu.edu) A Child Is Born (1965), by Lennart Nilsson [1] By: Zhang, Mark Keywords: human embryos [2] Dell Publishing in New York City, New York, published Lennart Nilsson [3]'s A Child Is Born in 1966. The book was a translation of the Swedish version called Ett barn blir till, published in 1965. It sold over a million copies in its first edition, and has translations in twelve languages. Nilsson, a photojournalist, documented a nine-month human pregnancy [4] using pictures and accompanying text written by doctors Axel Ingelman-Sundberg, Claes Wirsén and translated by Britt and Claes Wirsén and Annabelle MacMillian. Critics lauded A Child Is Born for its photographs taken in utero of a developing fetus [5]. Furthermore, the work received additional praise for what many described as simple and scientifically accurate explanations of complicated processes during development. Nilsson, born in Sweden in 1922, worked as a photojournalist since the mid-1940s. Using instruments with macro-lenses and wide-angled lenses, Nilsson photographed human fetuses. Nilsson published those images both in Life's cover article “Drama of Life before Birth” in 1965 and in A Child Is Born a few months later. Nilsson said that he intended A Child Is Born to be a practical guide for the expectant parents. To serve that purpose, Nilsson addressed common anxieties and myths about pregnancy [4] by presenting a photographic account of a fetus [5]'s growth from conception [6] through birth. Additionally, he solicited the help of Claes Wirsén, a doctor at theK arolinska Institute [7] in Solna, Sweden, and Axel Ingelman-Sundberg, a professor at the Sabbatsberg Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, to help him write the text.

  • Dis/Articulating Bellies a Reproductive Glance
    dis/articulating bellies a Reproductive Glance LISA McDONALD — Abstract On a Saturday afternoon just out of the city, I sat with a woman who cast herself ‘Jane’. Baby ‘Jo’ and partner ‘Mardi’ played ‘kangaroos’ on the floor. We talked, sampling some ways of looking and telling: I said, ‘… [and] when you saw the child?’ Jane said, ‘Well, that was amazing, wasn’t it?’ ‘We cried’, said Mardi. ‘We did’, smiled Jane.1 And so a looking moment was marked and presupposed its hearing. Jane and Mardi expose the shapes of telling set within the heady seductions of ‘foetal imaging’, itself a prevalent frame for the discourses of preformation. Medical imaging/imagining, it is thought, constitutes, and is constituted, within geographies and effects of inscription, forcing us to contemplate the tensions between biology and text. But as well, this is a bigger story—a tale of two women, some technology, and a baby. As they recalled their first glance of nine-week-old Jo, the moment of material-transparency was secured within a specific realm of loving and living. I began to wonder about the task of explanation and the dependence upon disclosure implicit in lived negotiations of identity. And more. ‘Who writes like that—like emotion itself, like the thought (of the) body, the thinking body?’2 Language and rhetoric drive histories of coalescence between doing and telling, casting and speaking, listening and hearing, masking the more elaborate LISA McDONALD—DIS/ARTICULATING BELLIES 187 moments of irresolve in what Lauren Berlant has described as ‘public-sphere narratives and concrete experiences of quotidian life that do not cohere or harmonise’.3 In this paper, dialogue between the mysteries of difference, ‘of différance’ and the partiality of critique, hopes to deploy a digressive optic through which to imagine possibilities for a logic of sight surprised by its own luminous inflections.

Increasingly, this kind of “evidence verité”2—film footage of arrests, criminal confessions, and crime scenes—is routinely admitted in U.S. courts of law as the best evidence of what happened.3 This kind of evidence tends to overwhelm all other evidence, such as witness testimony, paper records, and other documentary evidence.4 Evidence verité also tends to be immune to critical analysis.5 It is rarely analyzed ∗ Associate Professor of Law, Suffolk University Law School.

    Hasselbladstiftelsen Hasselblad Foundation Press Release Daido Moriyama Gothenburg, March 8, 2019 Hasselblad Award Winner 2019 The Hasselblad Foundation is pleased to announce that Japanese photographer Daido Moriyama is the recipient of the 2019 Hasselblad Foundation International Award in Photography for the sum of SEK 1,000,000 (approx. USD 110,000). The award ceremony will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden on October 13, 2019. A symposium will be held on October 14, followed by the opening of an exhibition of Moriyama’s work at the Hasselblad Center, and the release of a new book about the artist, published by Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König. The Foundation’s citation regarding the Hasselblad Award Laureate 2019, Daido Moriyama: »Daido Moriyama is one of Japan’s most renowned photographers, celebrated for his radical approach to both medium and subject. Moriyama’s images embrace a highly subjective but authentic approach. Reflecting a harsh vision of city life and its chaos of everyday existence and unusual characters, his work occupies a unique space between the illusory and the real. Moriyama became the most prominent artist to emerge from the short-lived yet pro- foundly influential Provoke movement, which played an important role in liberating photography from tradition and interrogating the very nature of the medium. His bold, uncompromising style has helped engender widespread recognition of Japanese photography within an international context.
