In the midst of our life, we are in death |
|
Reportage on an exhibition on death in society called ‘In the midst of life, we are in death', in the gallery of the Amsterdam art society ‘Arti et Amicitiae'. Curator Harry Heyink: ‘Obviously death plays a vital role in art, but in this exhibition we put the emphasis on the funeral in society. At the moment we have a trend in Holland using the funeral itself as a medium.' Disciplines like philosophers, writers, architects and other kind of artists exhibit in the gallery. A few examples: modern coffins and schrouds, death poems, concepts for new funeral rituals, futuristic death carriages, new desgins for graveyards and crematoriums, new mourning hats and a wide variety of funeral art. Practical creations in a time where death is still a taboo.
Activities: propose subject, research & setup reportage, direction & interviews.
