myFunerals #1-3
(2013)

https://publicspherespractices.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/myfunerals-no1-purifictation/

Based on interviews with representatives of religious communities, funeral parlors,
ritual consultants and those affected in Sarnen, Lucerne and Bern, as well as on-site research, "myFunerals" examines rituals and practices as acts of remembrance and mourning at funerals and burials in the Sarnen community cemetery.
myFunerals consists of three parts:
#1 purification (performance)
#2 cortege (performance)
#3 grieving (mapping and displacement)
The performance no 1 purification in the funeral hall reflects the cleansing ritual by means of nail cutting.
The group performance no 2 cortege in the form of a participatory procession shifts the movable objects of remembrance and mourning from the cemetery to the motor vehicle hall on the opposite side of the valley.
The installation "no 3 grieving" in the Motorwagenhalle contains a mapping of all movable objects of remembrance and mourning .
