The afterlife manifesto

Abstract

The Afterlife Manifesto is an exploration into the concept of mortality through the creation of a fictional afterlife narrative. This narrative hinges upon the following concepts: man’s fundamental gravitation towards the cardinal sins and their need to seek forgiveness. Based on the extensive conversations about mortality that the artist has had with people from all walks of life, this project pays particular attention to personal perceptions of the afterlife as well as beliefs with regards to the metaphorical weight of every action, both in the existing world and beyond.
