I will chose Elements from different sources that will be most relevant to our projects main concept, which is about Death itself, as opposed to both life after death and
Death and Dying “ A reader” (Sarah Earle, Carole Komaromy and Caroline Bartholomew- 2009)
Understanding Death (Introduction) Carol Komaromy)
The Author talks about death in terms of a children’s viewpoint. Of what death is. They see someone that’s alive as being full of motion, where as a dead person is a motionless still person with no “signs” of life.
Komaromy talks about how the dead body is then put in to a coffin and more becomes a symbol of death itself rather than showing actual death, in the way that humans will make ceremonies and rituals that are metaphorically engaging to show death and not in a literal manner.
Near Death Experiences
Near Death experiences occur usually when accidents happen, and the experient is pronounced dead, but then miraculously is revived. All accounts of this happening are documented by the NDERF (The near death experience research foundation)
These sites accounts of the experiences are very diverse, even in an artistic way, if not true, then very encapsulating. These ideas, such as the process of time being a distortion of reality, we used in our project by distorting time with the audio. (Ie Fast & Slow & Superfast / Reverse) .
