Memento mori IV
« Memento mori»
A mise en scene inspired by the classic vanitas paintings.
The skull is one of Claire Artemyz main photographic themes.
One of the specificity of humankind is the consciousness of death and the accomplishment of rituals towards the deceased.
Whatever our living conditions might be, life always ends in the same way. The gold covered skull facing a fading rose tells us about that. Today, humans are not only facing inescapable individual death, but also the threat of collective disappearance. This state of facts confers the « Memento mori » a new actuality.
