Sally Mann's photographic series of decomposing bodies was created at the University of Tennessee's Forensic Anthropology Center, commonly known as "the Body Farm". The images are part of her broader series What Remains, which explores themes of mortality, decay, and the body's transformation after death.
Background on the project
