Death/Grave SOPHIE CALLE by SHIBAHARA, Satoko
GRAVE She has a small gorden in her atlier.She said it "is a small garden as a grave of mine and everybody". Why she made it is that she felt real death when her friend died young.Grave represent the proof of non-exintence(one's existence is true).So, for her,grave is near by daily-life.The only method of meaning that people existed, after the man has died is that the left-behind person continues to memorizing the man.It's is no wondering that objects exist as a tool made to evoke.
And I think grave is "wrapping"."wrapping"can't stand without contents.It makes us think that something is contained in inside though contents were wrapped and it has disappeared,and that arose the imaginative power what is inside.If there is a "package" as a means which shows that something exists, can't it say the same thing to a grave? And supposing consideration of the man's for the contents is "package", isn't it that the same is said of the sincerity of continuing memorizing the dead?
