Presentation
The Posthumous World: Our selves, Our Bodies and a World that Will Continue Without Us
SessionThe Nature of Reality
DescriptionHow would our attitudes to death and dying change if we could see how a human body is reabsorbed into the environment? The Posthumous World is a project about death and our relationship with the planet. At its centre will be a new artwork - a poetic meditation on a body’s journey to re-join the ecosphere, which is also a scientifically accurate, visual simulation of how a body decays after burial. The body in question will be the artist’s own.
