... is a mirror-framed photo series that invites the viewer in an unusual way to think about their relationship to death - or not. that is up to the viewer, because you don't always have
to accept an invitation. the viewer can of course think about all sorts of other things while looking at the photo - if they can. If not, then not. but if they can, then yes.

furthermore, the viewer is of course free to withdraw from the role of the viewer and to end the viewing at any time or not to start at all (free will and all that). they are also welcome to
put other people in the role of the viewer and/or ask them and, if necessary, encourage them to take this position. the invitation to think about the relationship to death when looking at the photo series always and without exception applies to all viewers - as does the permission not to do so.

so far, so good. now that we have seamlessly and unnoticeably integrated this note from the artist into our text, we can finally start to deal with the image content and its core messages.
it's about time, because otherwise the reader of this text might get the impression that we here in the editorial department are trying to pack as little content as possible into as many sentences as possible. of course we don't want that. never. why should we? it wouldn't be helpful. at least we think so. but that's just our opinion - you're welcome to have your own.

so what is the core message? what does the photo series want to say?

actually, everything has already been said (in between the lines), but we'll make it a little clearer:

for very many people (by no means for all, but for very many) death is a taboo subject for almost their entire lives. both the inevitable, personal death and the subject of death in general.

but:
death is a part of life - whether we like it or not. any life that exists now, in this moment, only exists because other lives ended - the circle of life. death gives meaning to life. every life. always. recognize the value of your own life and its finiteness - and always be aware of that.

... love and kisses ...
