funeral gadget, 77x22x52 cm


1.Swelling. 2.Rotting. 3.Total decomposition. Death summarised in three points. Painless deformation, disappearing of a body. Hidden from Nicrophorus tomentosus i orbicollis, submitted to dry mumification. In the fear of “being eaten” stored in wooden, tightly sealed boxes fully decorated; usually with white. Or burned and nestled underground in expensive marble or ceramics. The fear of a total disappearance triggered by religious obscurity and the cultural twist started by the Civil War, from where a straight path leads to a new industry: funeral homes. Bodies being carted off in expensive cars. Rituals finished with feats. Toughtlessly packed into the ground, dead. Please, do sit down for a moment and think. How lovely is your life going on in your dead body.
