The rugby World Cup begins in France this week, and the new quai Branly "first arts" museum in Paris is exhibiting this huge photograph donated by the New Zealand team. The photo is supposedly made from "the blood and DNA" of all the team players, as some sort of gesture of brotherhood toward France. As it turns out, they mixed the blood into the fixer. That's all weird enough. What's more interesting, actually, is the text printed along the bottom of the photograph. It clarifies that the print has been thoroughly sterilized and thus "poses no risk". Except to the eyes, we guess.
