Vanitas or Prayers for those who live and prayers for those who died

The third instalment of the "Ars Moriendi" triptych is finalized. In this part, death is masked under the hero facade.

This video art series is the culmination of three years of intensive research, exploring the profound themes of death and memory through three distinct lenses. The first viewpoint addresses ageism, examining society's deep-seated fear of aging and, ultimately, death. This segment delves into how ageism manifests as the ultimate dread of mortality, highlighting the societal pressures and personal anxieties associated with growing old.

The second perspective investigates sex as a means of defying death. This part of the series portrays intimate encounters as acts of resistance against the inevitability of mortality. Through vivid and evocative imagery, it underscores the human drive to seek vitality and connection as a counterbalance to the encroaching shadow of death.

The final viewpoint focuses on the concept of heroic death in conflict. It explores the glorification of death in battle, examining how such deaths are memorialized and mythologized in society. This segment reflects on the paradox of finding honor and meaning in the midst of destruction and loss.

The primary goal of this research is to evoke the multifaceted nature of corporal death, drawing on societal, artistic, and philosophical contexts. By intertwining these three perspectives, the video art series offers a comprehensive and nuanced exploration of how death and memory shape and are shaped by human experience.
