Confronted with remnants of suffering, the task of performing a hospital autopsy can be grim. Yet its anatomical model provides an unprecedented insight into the machinery that awaits our own deterioration. As it was forbidden centuries ago to peek inside a dead body, we are likewise now told that the innards of these institutions are things we are not meant to see. But here we like to not just create our own rules but invent an entirely new game. Hospital Hopscotch, for instance, could be played by reassembling as many layers of this corpse as are available: a patient's gown, a vial of blood agar, a half-completed Rorschach test. Death leads to renewal. From the stained base of the autopsy table, perform a one-legged leap into the more colorful recesses of your imagination. Where you might end up, only you can know.
