Evidence of Death's Opposite

Abstract

Evidence of Death's Opposite is a visual biography that begins with my own birth through a metaphorical pregnancy diary about the agony and joy of giving birth to art and life as an artist.

The visual work consists of a 574 page dummy where one can follow the changes of, statistically speaking, a half of human life in different life periods: childhood, adolescence, couple formation and family formation. Different emotional states are treated, such as grief and love, as well as different needs such as food, housing and an existential search.

The method used is autoethnographic and highlights the childlike and therapeutic benefit of creation as well as its difficulty – finding one's entrepreneurial role and positioning oneself in an international art context.
