SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Carlos Gomez, cathedral visitor: “(I am) Impressed, first by the exhibition itself and secondly by the many questions that the whole exhibition creates because evidently the scientific studies are real but still it creates a lot of questions.

Various of copy of Turin Shroud 17. Various set up shots of curator Alvaro Blanco looking at the figure 18. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Alvaro Blanco, curator, “The Mystery Man“: “I think the debate of this piece, this sculpture, is what it arouses in us, the empathy of that skin with us. For the first time you see a figure and although art has represented Jesus in certain moments, here what is being represented is his skin, to put skin on the Holy Shroud, to humanize Jesus Christ.“ 19. Various of the sculpture of Jesus 20. Various set up shots of Cathedral Dean Antonio Matilla 21. Dean looking at crucifix on the wall 22. SOUNDBITE (Spanish) Antonio Matilla, Dean of the Cathedral of Salamanca: “The reaction of the people is of two types; one is of admiration of not believing it, of turning around and checking and looking again and the other one is like of rejection and, well, if they are such divergent reactions it means that the exhibition has something important, and what it has in my opinion, is a new and important approach to the incarnation of Jesus.“ 23.
