Reveries: Photography and Mortality

Helen Ennis

4.9/5 (18242 ratings)

Description:This exhibition brings together photographs that deal with the last phase of people's lives. Many of the photographs - by photographers from Australia and New Zealand - have not been exhibited before. The time span is from the late 1970s up to the present day, coinciding with what is sometimes known as the 'death awareness movement'. This emerged to counter what French historian Philippe Ariès terms 'the modern death' that is characterized by an ever-increasing amount of medical and technological intervention.Reveries is concerned with death of self, death of other, and reflections on mortality prompted by one's own direct experiences, such as serious illness or the death of a loved one. The emphasis throughout is on states of heightened awareness and consciousness of mortality and therefore with natural death rather than violent or accidental death.While acknowledging at the outset that each death represents the life of an individual and the sum of a unique set of experiences, the aim has been to consider the preoccupations and patterns that emerge from the photographs as a group. What is astounding is how many connections there are.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
