This documentary shows all sorts of elements of teeth and its cultural use – from denture to etchings, paintings, fashion accessories, and contemporary art. It discusses the fear of the dentist, shamefulness for rotten teeth, cultural expressions, and new technologies to make teeth.
The largest dental collection in Europe, located in the University Museum of Utrecht (the Netherlands), is the core of the documentary. We see by old prostheses how a primitive idea of teeth and dentistry is developing to our contemporary understanding of oral care. Not only dentists but also artists, musicians, designers, and storytellers have examined the human dentition.
The skills, the handicraft of dentists and prosthetists, lead us to the many artists inspired by teeth. The dental universe evokes amazement and the sum of all these images and stories shows that teeth are omnipresent.

THE MODULAR BODY
went live on Wednesday April, 13 2016 | the modular body
During the 2016 edition of the Netherlands Film Festival The Modular Body has won Het Gouden Kalf, in the section ‘interactive’. Congratulations Floris Kaayk, congratulations to all involved in this inspiring project.
Following international acclaim for the video clip of rock band De Staat’s Witch Doctor (2015) and de transmedia productions Rayish Footwear (2013) and Human Birdwings (2012), Floris Kaayk now presents THE MODULAR BODY, going live on 13 April.
On his own initiative , scientist Cornelis Vlasman experiments with organic materials in his independent laboratory. He is obsessed with the question: ‘What if the human body would not be a closed system, but instead a modular design with separate parts?’ Using his own body cells he created a new organism with a beating heart, lungs and exchangeable limbs. He names it OSCAR.
The Modular Body is an online science fiction archive allowing viewers to explore fragments from Vlasman’s research — with music by Machinefabriek. Designed in collaboration with Lustlab.
