Monday Mourning

    
MONDAY MOURNING
2016
Digital Video, stereo sound 6’18”

MONDAY MOURNING is a videoessay about loss and the immediate process of mourning coming right after. Through a fixed stand point of a mundane looking scenery, the thoughts of someone loosing their father slowly unfolds while looking out of a window. While our world can be suddenly shattered by death, the mundanity of life and its rythm seems to keep going on without waiting for us.

A pedestrian crosses the street, the trash still needs to be picked up, flowers glimmer and bloom.
