The Corridors of the Heart
After his work on A Child Is Born and Nature’s Amazing Lenses, Lennart Nilsson continued his pioneering work in scientific photography – this time with a major feature on heart attacks.
Since much of Nilsson’s work must be done on specimens taken from cadavers, he maintains a workroom adjoining the autopsy section of one of Stockholm’s big hospitals. Here is a place of very bad views and it is a real measure of Nilsson’s devotion that he can bear this overexposure to death.

Lennart Nilsson and Professor Per-Ingvar Brånemark followed up the series with a film for SVT, Tillbaka till livet (Back to Life), in 1968. The documentary was produced by Claes Wirsén and Lars Wallén.
“Yesterday I filmed connective tissue cells dividing. It’s the most dramatic thing I’ve ever filmed. And it’s something that happens inside us every second, throughout our lives. That’s what I want people to see.”
(Lennart Nilsson, 1968)
