'Death is a Place'

Monica Shanta 'Performing Plaiting'

‘Death’ is energy un-manifested.

‘Death’ is both empty and pregnant

‘Death’ is pure potential

‘Death’ surrounds and is embedded within Life giving to Life, more Life and yet more Life, in endless transformation.

‘Death’ is a desire and an impulse to life.

‘Death’ is a waking into new life.

 

Death turned to sand in my hands, escaping through my fingers.

There is no death

​

​

This installation and performance engages with the universal transcendent nature of death, 

culturally specific traditions and responses to death,

as well as historical instances of genocide.
