Project Description

 

Multimedia installation (Perugia, 2009)

 

Forms float in the air: cars with their chauffeurs, miniaturised villas with gardens, mobile phones, ultra-thin TVs, stylish women’s dresses, handbags by French stylists…

This is the show: cardboard items offered – a traditional Chinese custom – to the deceased at funerals, to accompany them on their journey in the afterlife.

There, like here: same world, same needs. To reassure and to be reassured by objects. To continue to have needs; to continue consuming… The common destiny that unites the living and the dead…
