Death At Work

About

This project comes from the existing link between face, identity, memory and death. The work consists of a set of video portraits where we see the face of a person looking at himself in a mirror, recognizing in his own face. In each video the person is doing the introspective action of remembering different times of his life. Thus, while identified in the features of his face, he also reconstructs his identity through memory. These mental images of time past brought to to the present cause a crash, and a greater awareness of time passing. The project seeks to focus attention and evoke those images hidden from memory.
