The video is lighting-fast reflection on the relationship between death and the artistic representation of it, i.e. between nature and art… It is a video on dead nature. Death is considered from a perspective that is surely secular and probably agnostic: it is the body deprived of life and, as such, able to be analyzed, dissected, and separated into other smaller bodies that lose their humanity and become material that is transformed and decomposed. However, before arriving at nothing, small film frames of a body that had existed can be put upon a videotape. They are the undeniable symbols that the mystery of death cannot be resolved.
