Cycle of Life and Death<\/strong><\/span><\/h5>\n

Man is a tiny part of the cosmic and universal cycle of becoming and passing. W<\/span>ith birth, the end, or death, is also already established. <\/span>Man must live with this incomprehensible reality. <\/span>The cycle of becoming and passing is digitally visualized through a display of current worldwide birth and death rates, of at least two births to one death per second. This flowing into one another of the beginning and the end of life is represented by an artwork. It exchanges the role of two figures, a baby and an old\/dying person, turning into one another, against a background of a ’supernova‘ which simultaneously symbolizes the end and the beginning. <\/span><\/p>\n

Object:<\/strong> Artwork by B. Eigner: <\/span>two figures, a baby and an old\/dying person, turning into one another.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Design:<\/strong> \u02bbLife\u02bc and \u02bbDeath\u02bc are woven into one another in a sculpture, against a background of a \u02bbsupernova\u02bc , which simultaneously symbolizes the end and the beginning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Media:<\/strong> A sound composition is embedded into the eternal cycle of becoming and passing. It refers to the rhythm that is simulated by the current birth and death rates, digitally visualized through a display.<\/span><\/p>\n\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t<\/div>\r\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

Religions and the soul<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n

Rites for the dead are tightly connected to the ‚religious‘ background of a community. <\/span>The religions offer rituals with fixed processes and rules, each in its particular way.

Eternal?<\/b><\/span><\/h5>\n
