It’s the birthday party of Joyce. She’s about to die. And she is seven.
Then, the clock strikes 4 at Schönefeld Airport.
The weather is stormy. It’s time to bring in the cake.
What a wonderful age! The weather is not getting any better. In a surburban house, an old woman falls from her couch, eyes open.
The screen of a phone lights up and asks “Where are you?”. The old woman bites her tongue. The plane takes off. The birthday girl closes her eyes and blows out the candles.
We see death everywhere, but rarely admit to it. Inspired by 15th century Artes Moriendi writings, Ways of dying, we look at the micro-rituals, subtle moves and cries for help that betray our macabre thoughts in a rare collection of dark flashes and deep silences.
