‘Death After Life / Life After Death’ is a stop-motion video depicting the gradual decay of flowers over a 10-day period. During filming, the flowers were recorded as they wilted and died. However, during the editing process, the footage was reversed. As a result, viewers observe the flowers beginning in a state of death, but as they watch in the gallery, the flowers slowly and subtly come back to life, eventually reaching full bloom.
